    A while back I talked about component syntax, which I described as
    `a:b.c()` and `a:[b].c()`.


And what does this syntax mean?

a:b.c() -> a.b.c(a)

a:[b].c() -> a[b].c(a)

I did not understand your example with "circle(5,5,2)", but I think this syntax could be useful with "with" operator:

with a do

  .f();  -- a.f()

  :f();  -- a:f()

end

with a:b do

  .c();     -- a.b.c(a)

  .d.e();   -- a.b.d.e(a)

  .d:e();   -- a.b.d.e(a.b.d)

end
