unusual. What I've seen in some dialects is that it automatically
creates a closure; i.e. `f = v:abs` means the same as `f =
function(...) return v:abs(...) end`.

That's how I would read it, and how it works in Moonscript.

The fact that people have very different meanings attached to the
ambiguous syntax v:abs means that it is a bad idea.


Here's better syntactic sugar:

v->abs = v:abs()
(in C, -> is like . but with a dereference, "dereference" being the key here)
