What does this have to do with perl6-internals? F-up to p6l.

You can still write it like that, if you declare a name ($self) for the
invocant. Added to Perl is a shortcut, not a replacement.

That looks silly indeed, and is a good reason for not using ./foo HERE.
It's not a good reason to not have ./foo at all.

Then don't use it. You don't have to use it.

If you have anything that is complicated, a verbose version should
always be considered, if only to avoid getting lost in punctuation. This
is not specific to ./foo in any way.

It is visually much more suited for action than functional use:
./foo($bar, $baz); # beautiful
print 5 + ./foo($bar); # ugly

I find "o." absolutily horrifying. But then, that's apparently how you
think of "./", so we have to trust Larry's decision on this. I don't
think further discussing this is really fruitful, as it has already been
discussed more than is good for us.
