I disagree with the idea that this is changing the balance. Brendan
has responded at length about the proposals, but I wasn't talking at
all about removing the distinguished first argument. For example:
function f(mythis | x, y) { ... }
is very much in the OO tradition of distinguishing the receiver --
it's just using lexical scope for disambiguation.
