Here we differ. I think the frequency of the
/$var.ident(whatever)/
pattern is likely to be low enough that method interpolation is a
better use for the syntax.

Perl 6's interface is likely to be far more OO than Perl 5's, so this may not
be the case. For example: Perl 5's $#array syntax becomes something
like @array.length (i.e. a method call)

There we definitely do agree :-)
