That wouldn't have the same effect as what we're talking about--it'd be
overruled by any C within. We're talking about how to make .foo
mean self.foo reg

This becomes
perl -MNet::Ping -nle 'print "Ghost DHCP lease: $1"
if /lease\s+(\d\S+)/ &&
if ($a = "\04") {
my only question with doing away with '{' and '}' are dealing with
issues of automagical stringification/number conversion with different
types of the same name. would this be an issue?
would $a be the 5th element of
$ambig[$a] or would it be the "\04" key to $ambig[$a]

I'm not sure I follow. What hypothetical features are you talking about

What about
given (self) { }
Also, what about
use invocant;
resulting in all method bodies in scope getting an implied
surrounding given (self) { }.
And what about 'me' or 'i' instead of 'self'?
