# set? I don't think so.
my $a, $b, $c set 1..3 ; # alphabetic like and, or, xor? # and what precedence relative to them?
well, I'm not sure the feature is good, but I have some idea about the sign that could be used for this :-)
we have all sort of verb forms in Perl6 (is, has, does) so the natural choice seems to be:
my $a, $b, $c are 1..3;
perhaps it could also be made to DWIM for:
my @colours are $red, $green, $blue;
or, more prosaically, we could coerce the fat pipe operator to work as a slurpy assignment in this case:
my $a, $b, $c <== 1..3; # hmmm... am I breaking something here?
or we could even just use an hyper-equal:
my $a, $b, $c »=« 1..3;
if not for low precedence assignment, "are" could still be used as a (low precedence) "plural" type declaration, as in:
my $spot, $fido, $billy are Dog; # not Dogs, alas
but I'm afraid this wouldn't be terribly useful either.
ok, enough ranting.
