It probably wouldn’t be bad with some sort of naming convention for  
the cases where placing the caret “after” the construct was generally  
not considered as “on” the construct.

As for the abstract method, currently that and interface methods  
(wrongly) require the { } after the method prototype.

I have on my to-do that I should fix that part of the Java language  
grammar, since it does get reported from time to time (apparently  
people still use Java :p ) -- but so far I haven’t found the time…

If anyone wants to submit a patch :)
