+1 too. Absent *clear* enthusiasm and support for new syntax/operators, I
think being conservative and slow is the right approach. Just having @ will
give us data and experience with this space, and it may become clear after
one more cycle that we really need/want @@, or not, as the case may be.
 But it's easier to add it later if we really need it than to remove it if
it proves to be a bad idea, so +1 for moving slowly on this.
