Yep. But I'll plead rule #1 for myself, and let it go.
(The other thought I had was that slashes might be nice, since
some filesystem hierarchies use it. But then the division op
gets squeeged.
Hm. Maybe by following the m// pattern, the component separator
could be locally user-settable.
Foo::Bar # the normal case
d./Foo.Bar/ # make it dot for the nonce. I mean hence.
d/[Foo/Bar] # make it slash.
d(->){Foo->Bar} # on second though... never mind.

I expect to see a lot more parens and/or curlies in interpolations.
And frankly it won't bother me none. As long as "$foo" still works
without 'em -- and I know I don't need to worry about that.
