I know MoonScript replace ':' with '\' to call an instance method, but I think it's sooooooo weird.

And, I don't think so use ':' to assigning a value to key in a table is better than '='.

So, why not keep ':' and '=' behavior?
It's bad idea to change the operator behavior, it make hard to port code between Lua and Moonscript,
also make people more confused.
