Component syntax

["Soni L." <fakedme@...>]

A while back I talked about component syntax, which I described as 
`a:b.c()` and `a:[b].c()`.

I'd like to bring this up again, this time with a more concrete example.

I've been playing with SVG, and here's an example of how this syntax 
could be used:

circle(5, 5, 2):fill(rgb(192, 128, 16)):stroke(rgb(0, 0, 
0)):stroke.width(px(1))

Currently, this has to be written as:

circle(5, 5, 2):fill(rgb(192, 128, 16)):stroke(rgb(0, 0, 
0)):stroke_width(px(1))

Which IMO just isn't quite as nice.

I'd still like to insist on `a:[b].c()` because of those of us who use 
types. With `a:[b].c()`, one could implement a fully functional trait 
system.
