Is the proposed symbol for this syntax extension `=>'? If so, I find the proposed symbol ugly. `=>' is already a semantically loaded indicator. Likewise, the individual tokens of `=>' are too visually similiar to `=' and `>'. I would prefer either `#=>' or `#->' which might help to convey the implicit function call involved. -- /s_P\
