I would like #send! too, or similiar variations. I don't like #funcall
because even with lispers it may lead to wrong associations. Sure
people will get used to it, but why confound them in the first place?

And as mentioned elsewhere often enough, no method call (or message
sent) is really receiverless, it just may be without an explicit
receiver.
