Andrew, thank you for posting this message, I was getting a bit annoyed
at writing follow-ups to myself.

The definitive and final first discovery of this technique was on May
1st, 1994.

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=1994May1.035104.25990%40netlabs.com

Now that mystery has been cleared up, are there any other standard
idioms for which we need to find the discoverer?

Already known are:
-p foo&&&   Piers
-p }{       Abigail
"@{[]}"     Larry
-p $\=...   I claim this one for myself

Does anyone else want to claim a golf trick?
