Did I miss April 1st? We seem to be discussing the merits of

    f of arg

as an alternative form of

   f(arg)

While I'm sure Cobol had some good points, I don't believe that this was one
of them...

If there is any merit to this proposal, it's very rapidly being lost in
examples of rewriting things which are simple function calls.
