You know, before I read this part of the message, I was thinking
precisely that.  Nullary splat should do it, so that @foo[*] will
work.  Unary splat would of course get our favor if it can be
interpreted that way, but in cases like:

    @foo[*]
    bar(*)

It is unambiguous, and you can always say (*) to disambiguate.  I like
the look of that too.
