Idea: ARRAY ARROW implies MAP

Would it be cool if

@array->bar(27)

became, essentially,

( map { $_->bar(27) } @array )

and if

@array->[27]

became, essentially,

( map { $_->[27] } @array )


and if

@array->{ts}

became, essentially,

( map { $_->{ts} } @array )

?
That is, if, in general,

@array->more->things

became, essentially,

( map { $_->more->things } @array )

?

This would mean that a @LoLoL, currently fully flattenable with

@Fluffy = map { @$_ } map {@$_} @LoLoL;

might become flattenable with

@Fluffy = @@@LoLoL;

or maybe it would only work with the new postfix syntax,

@Fluffy = @LoLoL->@*->@*;


I imagine that some would find that useful and elegant, and others would
find it over-concise and confusing and think it an invitation to error as
misspellings get mis-parsed as expansions.

Thoughts?
