Several of the differences between Perl5 and Perl6 are
intended to reduce the amount of dereferencing you have
to do. So I like thinking of this syntax change as just
being Yet Another way of indicating to people that you
are supposed to be thinking in terms of more immediate
data structures and less about having a reference that
you dereference.<p>
YMMV, but that is true to the usage of both . and ->
in C.
