Partially applied property accesses and method calls?

[dead-claudia]

In my experience, these are far and away among the most common types of functions I create. Stuff like items.map(i => i.name) and dates.map(d => d.getTime()). It'd be really nice to have something like items.map(?.name~) or dates.map(?.getTime~()). And maybe extend it to setters via items.forEach(?.name ~= foo), though I'm not holding my breath on that one.

Note: I'm intentionally limiting it to just these two. I'm in no way proposing opening the flood gates to everything - stuff like (a, b) => a + b are very explicitly out of scope.
