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.
