Yes from the user POV. From the compilers-details POV I think 
that semantics checks for that are awfully complex. Add to this 
your system of UFCS. Boom, 1000 lines of code to desintricate 
what the programmer really meant.

However that's certain that once implemented properly it's 100% 
profit for hundreds of programmers.
