If we're really pondering this sort of thing, why not think more
broadly and finally get around to dealing with method/object syntax?
(Like some of the syntax manglers on CPAN do.)
Hypothetically:
use feature 'method';
method foo {
self->wibble($_) for @_;
}
I.e. Given a "method" keyword, set up the invocant in some way and
leave it out of @_. People can bikeshed the most efficient way to set
up the invocant -- in my example I have a bareword, but it could be
"$self" or "$*" (available now without a deprecation cycle) or
whatever else people dream up.
