maybe with should go the Oz route, which provide a 
make-named-thing-unnamed special symbol (but I think the real concept is 
"make a statement an expression)
i.e.

def foo(x,y) #defines a method foo
end

foo= def $(x,y) .. end #defines an unnamed method and assigns to foo

but again, creeping punctuation.
I'm on the 'fun' side :)
