Good point, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't realize lvalue non-method subs were a thing because I've only ever used lvalue methods.
This means that implementing my proposal would break backward compatibility. I don't know how common lvalue subs are and if such breakage would be considered acceptable.
The lvalue sub assignment could remain available in subroutine arguments as:
f name() = "value";
