Particularly if '$_' was implied... So with Perl 6's '.' replacing '->',
and 'with' aliasing 'for':

   with ( $XL.{Application}.{ActiveSheet} ) {
     .cells(1,1) = "Title";
     .language() = "English";
   }

Heh. That is nice and compact... although it's getting hard to tell it
apart from VB ;-)
