I've always hated that methods are treated so differently from subs. It
trips me up constantly, and I'd like to see it changed. Such a thing
can be done. The cop-out may be easier--but is it the *right* way to do
this language? If we wanted an easy language to implement, we would
have stuck with something that looks and feels like C. Perl is designed
to make the *programmer*'s life easier, not the implementer's.
