This would cause about 80% of Nathan's RFCs to die screaming, since
they nearly all rely on indirect object syntax. Not that I'd mind
seeing it buried (indirect object syntax, not Nathan's RFCs) but you
should enumerate the RFCs you're conflicting with.
PS Shouldn't this be on perl6-language-objects?
