Two more things: URI as a attribute type with the same access options as
URI selects (eg., $foo.user) and lists as attribute type.

While the former is nice to have, the latter is very important to me.
Currently, to call forward to a list of recipients, I put all of them
into one attribute, separated by comma and then have to run a route
recursively that tears that apart and append_branche()s them. A list
would be much better -- not so much from script side, though, but from
the provisioning side. Just pushing an extra row into the database is
much easier and more logical.

If you think the URI attribute type with "sub-selects" a bit further,
you end up at an interesting generalization. Those sub-selects actually
are methods called on a select or the result of such a method call --
just without arguments. A more traditional way to put this:

   @from.uri().host()

This can easily be extended into a simple object system where the first
bit is a select or an attribute or even a literal and the other things
are indeed method calls.
