I think there's a thread *somewhere*, but the motivation is just that the definition site visually mirrors the application site, in all cases.
I had some additional rationale that the definition can happily *look* different from what we're familiar with because it *is* something different from what we're familiar with.

I was actually in favour of replacing "apply" methods with `def (args): Type`, too.

Hmm, that's interesting. But again I can't fathom a world where a $50 syntax novelty is preferred to a $1 naming convention
