I tend to agree. I don't think that the idea is entirely without merit, but I 
don't think that it's really much of a loss to not be able to use UFCS in 
situations like that. The only situation where it could pose a major problem 
would be with properties, but if we're not going to have strict properties 
(and it seems pretty clear at this point that we're not going to), then it 
doesn't really matter, because you can use a property function as a normal 
function if you have to.
