Given the right interpretation this just looks like
a typed label selection in a multi method.

   multi trans
   {
       Str $x: ...; return;

       Int $x: ...; return;

       ...; return;
   }

Is this definitional form supported? To me it nicely
unifies the indirect object syntax---and postfix colon
in general---with labels.
