receive should have a shorthand form, with a single clause on the right hand side.

So both of the following could work:

receive {
  :foo -> :bar
  :bar -> :baz
}

receive :foo -> :bar

That at least makes writing "synchronous" methods easier:

foo ::bar (self (), 42)
receive (:reply, msg) -> msg

This has the benefit of being extremely similar to function syntax.
