I like that code but I am looking for a better looking syntax.
ref{:a} is quite short, but I am looking for something shorter.

Ideally &a, but that is already valid syntax in Ruby for something else.

r{:a} is shorter, but pollutes Kernel space with a global r() method.

Is there an unary operator that can be redefined ?

Yours,
