Suppose I want to convert a string to uppercase in a language.
(1) Google it.
(2) Read the official docs or a Stack Overflow answer.
(3) Copy-paste the function/method name to my program.
This is an absurd number of keystrokes! Do any languages aim to minimise this?

I love .method() for IDE completion, but I don't want Path to be cluttered. I'm also trying to avoid UFCS.
