I don't see how 'foo' is anything but obvious to anybody that gives 
himself a second to actually think about it.

Also, let's take into account that this is syntax change, and in 5.3 we 
have an unique opportunity because it's a syntax changing release. If we 
don't add it in 5.3, we probably don't add it till 6. And there were 
multiple requests for it, both on the list and offline. Waiting for 
"better syntax" when there's nobody willing to actually work on this 
syntax is just another way to say "kill it".
