Hm, no. One's a noun, the other's a verb. Given the linguistic
orientation of Perl6, it seems a bit strange that the syntax for both is the
same: while accessors and mutators are *implemented* as verbs, they should
*look* like nouns.
In defense of chromatic's point, both people and syrup run.
Sometimes you don't even know the correct part of speech without a
backtracking parser or infinite lookahead in English.
