If postfix "!" was up for grabs - which it probably isn't - what would
you do with it?
One interesting suggestion was to have it as a shorthand for assertion:
sub foo {
(@_ > 0)!;
...
}
(Or even have ! be a valid statement terminator, so "(@_>0)!" would work.)
Or you could have it doing something to variables: $a = $b! + $c;
(But what?)
Fun, eh?
