Thus it never means $?SELF.foo without $_ being the same thing, and thus it always means $_.foo, and thus there is no ambiguity about what .foo means, and .foo can mean $_.foo even if $_ isn't $?SELF, as $?SELF is never a factor in the decision what .foo means.

Doubtless if you really insist on this "feature", Perl 6 will see its first fork very shortly after its release... But have no fear, because it will run all standard Perl 6 code too, as the thing that the fork introduces used to be an error.
