I don't like terminal keyword.  (I don't care whether a programming 
language really sounds like English.  It's in the same way foreign to my as 
let's say C or APL - just yet another language.)

But I'd like to know whether anybody already tried to implement the 
"trailing accesssor" methods with IMHO looks like a good idea, especially 
in combination with []-collection access.

These two changes make the grammar more difficult (for the parser!) but 
IMHO the language easier to understand (for the user), that that's more 
important for me.
