It is a good point that it doesn't belong on the regex. Perhaps:
$foo.subst(/bar/, "baz", :

i seem to recall
$foo.subst(/:g bar/, "baz")
is valid syntax already.
If I'm not mistaken, the aversion to that syntax- as implied earlier in this
thread- was that the :g is really a modifier on the substitution, not on the
matching. (Please correct

$foo.subst(/bar/, "baz", :g)
That seems to work,

it breaks the mnemonic association with s///?
Perhaps the long name "substitute" would work? While

According to S05, the string method equivalent of the s/// operator is named
"subst". (Just going by the spec here; the method doesn't exist yet in
Pugs). I anticipate typos galore from the near-collision of names between

Rather, the proposal is focusing on what users of these data structures
