Because the day will come when you want to replace
foo.a # get $foo->{a}
with
foo.a # invoke $foo->a
and you don't want to teach your HTML-whackers to change their
syntax everywhere.
The nice thing about TT is that it hides nearly everything into
a much more Perl6-like syntax. Oh, and loop.first and loop.last *rock*.
If you find yourself agonizing over the very-easy-to-learn TT syntax,
you're doing *too* much in TT. It's self-limiting.
