Comment (by lsansonetti at apple.com):

 Currently, {{{a.setValue("triple", forKey::three}}} produces {{{undefined
 local variable or method `forKey' for main:Object (NameError)}}}.

 I wonder if we should do something. {{{forKey::three}}} is a perfectly
 valid syntax (it basically means {{{forKey.three}}}).

 {{{
 >> 123.to_s
 => "123"
 >> 123::to_s
 => "123"
 }}}

 In that case it would mean: send {{{#setValue}}} with 2 regular (not-
 named) arguments: {{{"triple"}}} and the result of {{{forKey::three}}}.
