I'm having trouble this is even being considered. At all. And especially for these operators...

So you're one of the very few people who bothered to set up unicode, and now you want to force the rest of us into your own little "leet" group. Given the choice between learning how to reconfigure their keyboard, editor, terminal, fonts, and everything else, or just not learning perl6, I bet you'd have a LOT of people who get scared away. Face it, too many people think perl is linenoise heavy and random already. Which brings me to my real question: why these operators? It's not as if they're even particularly intuitive for this context. They're quotes. They don't mean "vector" anything, and never have. I could almost see if the characters in question just screamed the function in question (sqrt, not equals, not, sum, almost anything like that), but these are just sort of random. Given how crazy this is all getting, is it absolutely certain that we're better off not just making vector operations work without modifiers? I reread the apocalypse just now, and I don't really see the problem. The main argument against seems to be "perl5 people expect it to be scalar", but perl5 people will have to get used to a lot. I think the operators should just be list based, and if you want otherwise you can specify "scalar:op" or convert both sides to scalars manually (preferably with .length, so it's absolutely clear what's meant). -- Adam Lopresto ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://cec.wustl.edu/~adam/ Who are you and what have you done with reality? --Jamin Gray
