But how would you do multiple calls against the same thing?

{
    .signal_connect( :delete{ Gtk2.main_quit } );
    .set_title( "Test" );
    .border_width( 15 );
    .add( .signal_connect( :clicked{ Gtk2.main_quit } ) on Gtk2::Butto
+n.new( "Quit" ) );
    .show_all;
} on Gtk2::Window.new( "toplevel" );

There is a simple analogon in Perl5:

my $window = map {
    $_->signal_connect( delete_event => sub { Gtk2->main_quit } );
    $_->set_title( "Test" );
    $_->set_border_width( 15 );
    $_->add( map {
        $_->signal_connect( clicked => sub { Gtk2->main_quit } );
        $_;
    } Gtk2::Button->new( "Quit" ) );
    $_->show_all();
    $_;
} Gtk2::Window->new( "toplevel" );

Meh. It puts things in the wrong order IMO.

Makeshifts last the longest.
