REASONING

There are uncountable examples of "methods" that do not need an
argument, for example

led[1]:blink
arm[2].pos[3]:go
z:abs
z:Re
polynomial:diff
etc

PROPOSAL

Raise the "methods" syntactic sugar ":" to a function call without
arguments, with the exception of the ubiquitous "self", namely,
call "methods" without the common usage of  '(' ')', or '{' '}' or
' " ' ' " '.

Looks like we have a bunch of enthusiastic young folks raring to
contribute to the language!

Ah, none of you will ever top the 'Quaternary operator'
proposal... :-p :-)

Quaternary operator? As in,

var1
val = var2 $ var3
var4

Or aligned

           var1
val = var2 $  var3
var4

Yes?

It was a posting in 2010.
