Equally as hackolicious (using the pending class properties proposal):
class X {
Y = () => {
...
}
}

Here's a cool trick I found using this bind syntax today: Babel REPL

But it lead me to think that class methods could have `::` prefixed
onto them to suggest that they be lightly bound method references:
class X {
::Y() { }
}

I find the call form of the operator (`a::b()`) very useful on its
own.
However, I think the main question is, will shipping the
prefixed bind or prefixed call forms of the operator (`::a.b`,
`::a.b()`), and/or the bind form of the operator (`a::b`),
definitely preclude future extension with partial application,
etc, or can those still be worked in somehow? If there's a way to
include all four forms and leave open the future possibility of
extension, I think, as Domenic points out, that we would see a lot
of value from the bind and prefix forms as well.

Definitely agree. Being able to do `foo.map(::this.bar)` is
really great, and even `const extracted = ::foo.bar` is
nothing to sneeze at.
I know there's a thread on the issue tracker where a few vocal
voices are complaining that they want partial application
syntax and bikeshedding on various operator forms related to
that, but I don't think that should discourage the excellent
benefits that you're giving to everyone but those few.
