I have had several requests for adding more obscure constructs (see https://github.com/book/perlsecret/issues). My rule has been to keep only the well-known operators, or the ones that had a nickname that corresponded to their looks, not their function. Under that rulle, the magical flip-flop wouldn't have fit. Anyway, I guess others can decide what gets in when the branch merged into blead. -- Philippe Bruhat (BooK) Out of the worst can often come the best. (Moral from Groo The Wanderer #57 (Epic))
