I realize that such also be true if we just disallowed that direction, requiring e.g. %hash.keys.grep().map(). I would personally be perfectly happy with that restriction, and in fact find the operation much clearer when written that way. But I don't see any harm in providing a mechanism to allow the reversal; TMTOWDI is going to be as true of Perl6 as it is of Perl5.
