Well, since I've only come across a single case where the method I needed to call was in a String PMC, I've never found it annoying. But again, perhaps that's just me and it really is a big annoyance to other PIR programmers. :-)
Oh, I was talking about a complete solution to the ambiguity: no string method calls at all, only method PMC objects. So, eliminate these too:
object.methodname() object.'methodname'() object.$S1() I guess your proposal was much more conservative.
There's also the point that find_method isn't sufficient if we need the method call to use :multi semantics. But I'm also unsure about that, because I've yet to run across the need for that one.
Mmmm.. aye, but we probably need a multi variant for find_method anyway. Allison
