But with the different precedence. At last, I can assign from a list without
using parentheses:

  @a = 1, 2, 3; # newbie error
  @a <~ 1, 2, 3; # would work


Something else springs to mind. Consider the C<for> syntax:

  for 1,2,3 ~> foo -> $a { ... }

Is there any way we could unify these two operators without creating
ambiguities? If we
could, then using straight arrows would be nicer to type than the squiggly
ones.
