two questions after playing with 1.1 EAP for a while:
1. Is there a possibility that we'll have simpler syntax for references to companion object functions? e.g.

class MyClass(...) {
  companion object {
    fun parse(input: String): MyClass { ... }
  }
}

I've found someInputSequence.map(MyClass.Companion::parse) to be more annoying than just someInputSequence.map { MyClass.parse(it) }. Something like (strawman syntax) someInputSequence.map(MyClass:::parse)?
