As I voiced before, this is incorrect. $0 is not a positional scalar. $1
is the first positional scalar.
Either we need to change $1 to $0, or change ^0 to ^1. Considering $0
has been around a little while longer than HOFN, I strongly suggest we
change ^0 to ^1 to be consistent.
I realize this RFC has been frozen, but this is an important issue. And
remember, Mike Pastore and I were the ones who suggested this whole ^
notation, y'know. ;-)
Other than this issue the RFC is excellent^Wamazing.
