This could be probably usefull. We have similar problem with alert 
statements (global alert statement could save lot of space).

Agree, backward compatibility will be kept:

start "/foo/bar"   ... can be parsed as:    method start "/foo/bar" exec 
on { start }

Note: it was just example syntax so maybe there are better terms then 
'method start "/foo/bar" exec on { start }', what do you think?

Looks good :) It makes the configuration more powerfull (atomic 
operations for simple events and chaining them for  special cases)
