RCR 307: allow attributes to take arguments for assignment

Eric Mahurin

I just put in a RCR that allows for a little more syntax sugar.
The proposal is just to make:

object.attribute(arguments) = expression

to be equivalent to:

object.send(:attribute=,arguments,expression)

This would just be a nice-to-have RCR in my opinion as you can
use standard methods instead. But, it does seem like Rubyish
syntax. Here is the link if you are interested:

Call me stupid, but I am afraid I do not understand what this
code would *do*. Could you clarify, maybe post an example (if
possible, with Ruby code)?

I'd tried it once and found it was so tough to let yacc swallow
it. But will try again later.
