That's why I propose the new keywords 'helper' and 'subject'

module myhelper;
helper for subject : string
Do we really need a 3-keyword chain? What's wrong with a simple
`helper : string` or `helper(string)`?
{
void writeln()
{
import std.stdio;
writeln(subject);
}
}

Why `subject` to refer to the string the function gets called on?
What's wrong with good old `this`, which is used for this purpose
everywhere else?
