Achieving uniform call syntax is easy, compilers just need to implement a new form of symbol resolution called "Kaiser lookup". It follows 14 easy to understand rules. It first looks up methods, then searches for template definitions in /tmp, then for a matching phase of any Saturn moon at time of compilation, then looks of definitions std::compat, and then in the namespaces of the types of any variables in scope anywhere on the call stack. If none of those work, it tries to interpret the call syntax as a custom float literal, and if even that fails, as a Perl 4 compatible regex. It's really intuitive if you think about it.
