Excuse me for dropping this into the discussion, but
this reminds me a proposal made (by me;-) in p5p last month :
define a new prototype (") that allows to define quotelike
functions. Example :

}
print ro

The query is asking what the string would look like, if it were chomped.

What about 'chomp?' for query but 'chomp' (no decoration) for operation?
I think using ? on method names is kind of cute.
