You know, before I read this part of the message, I was thinking precisely that. Nullary splat should do it, so that @foo[*] will work. Unary splat would of course get our favor if it can be interpreted that way, but in cases like: @foo[*] bar(*) It is unambiguous, and you can always say (*) to disambiguate. I like the look of that too. Luke
