Hm, I actually find the self-documenting style of ObjC selectors
extremely helpful, since in order for the x(a, b, c) style to be
useful you need an editor that supports popup completion or something
similar.
The only way [] use for messaging in ObjC has annoyed me is when I go
back to Smalltalk and end up creating blocks all over the place
(Smalltalk doesn't use [] for messaging).
