No. There's now also a unary ./ operator in Perl 6.

Unary . calls a specified method on the current topic.
Unary ./ calls a specified method on the current invocant.

The point being that methods no longer topicalize their invocant. So you need 
to use ./ instead of . to call methods on an implicit invocant.
