I've been noodling with Julia recently and the dot-syntax is really surprisingly ergonomic for transforming hunks of data. It has the benefit of making vectorization easier for the compiler, but I enjoy the syntax.
That's a cool trick but I'd like an operator with more pixels for that behavior.
When I used to track new languages, I ran into one where the . was implicit. You could change a member of an object from a single value to an array and it would iterate over all of the values. So you could do an information architecture that was 1:1 and change to 1:many later and things would still work.
