While I agree with most of the changes made to the s[]... notation,
there's one oddity that I just spotted:

This is not a normal assigment, since the right side is
evaluated each time the substitution matches (much like the
pseudo-assignment to declarators can happen at strange

Hmm, that won't work, since @() is a single argument. It'd have to be one of:
s:s:g[, (\w+): (.+) ,] = - [$key, $val] { $key = $val }.(@())
s:s:g[, (\w+): (.+) ,]
In short, nearly every case where I'm looking to use a raw closure
can be handled almost as easily by prefacing it with Cdo (if the
block doesn't take parameters) or Cdo given (if it does). A bit
more wordy than I'd like, but acceptable; it still reads well.
Although I'd recommend pointing this
