Personally, I find this proposal for C++ to be laughable. It's 
like hitch hiking from New York to California, and only getting 
as far as Texas and calling it good.

The great thing about our UFCS is the left-to-right chaining of 
algorithms.

x.map!(...).filter!(...).reduce!(...)

It beats the Hell out of...

reduce!(...)(filter!(...)(map!(...)(x)))

This proposal will encourage non member functions, which is good, 
but will never reach the "aha" moment D had which gave us UFCS 
chaining.
