#508: Method Syntax

 I wish the syntax were:[[BR]]
   {{{set( firstName:first, lastName:last )}}}[[BR]]
 instead of:
   {{{setFirstName( first, lastName:last )}}}[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 I think this would make the language less strange and therefore more
 intuitive and accessible to new learners. The current method syntax, which
 looks more like Objective-C, is strange to folks who do not already
 program in Objective-C.
