I was reading Charlie's post on twitter about how he was/is try to figure out and interesting alt fire for the welder.
I thought about it as well and came up with few possibilities:
1) Welder's alt-fire is something of a taser, because the welder does little to no damage in the first place so the alt-fire should somehow reflect this.
2) Because the welder does little to no damage, maybe you can overload it and toss it like a grenade, albeit an expensive grenade.
3) The welder would be a weapons upgrade that you can use for and in place of other alt-fire abilities. I think it would be a little bit of strategy if you have to turn in some sexy power for your machine gun for a welder, or any other weapon. Maybe only the welder upgrade is usable but certain weapons like the LMG making heavies more reliant on their team mates or something...
4) Welder has no alt-fire it is what it is. Maybe takes a weapons slot that another weapon might have taken, and thus add more depth to weapon selection.
Personally I like the third option the most. I do not know what other alt-fires that have been planned for other weapons, but I have always liked when you have to make a choice between two good options. So it would work out like a choice that effects whether you survive an alien encounter or not, much like having to choosing to get jet packs and rush or get heavies and siege determines the result of a match.
Like to hear what everyone else has to say.

I second that, but since the pez's are dispensed in game, and I am unable to eat them I am a little suspicious of it's effectiveness.
