I do this too! And I already combine both techniques, like this:

  [$1.do $2]

e.g.

  [commutator f +] contains [f.do +] which does [+]
  [commutator ~ +] contains [~.do +] which does [+~]
  [commutator # +] contains [#.do +] which does [# +]

Last night I made a [f.taa] and a [~.taa] so that i can order messages in
abstrs that have a signal mode just by writing [$1.taa].
