Issue #7606 has been updated by Luke Kanies.

Are others opposed to the idea of using this syntax?
<pre>
File[owner == foo] { ... }
</pre>
If we can agree on that, then we can mark this 'accepted' and unify the 
operators.

Feature #7606: Spaceship operator too magical, hard to read

The spaceship operator:

    User <| group == sysadmin or title == luke |>

Is relatively easy to type but, if you don't know it, very hard to read.  We 
should consider a word-based syntax, e.g.:

    collect User { group == sysadmin or title == luke }
    User search { group == sysadmin or title == luke }

*This ticket is a request for comment, coming out of a discussion at Puppet 
Camp EU, 2011.  No promises whatever about implementation, but there were 
enough people interested to open a public discussion.*
