Would this be a good time to ask for explanation for C<str> being never Unicode, while C<Str> is always Unicode, thus leading to an inability to box a non-Unicode string?
And might I also ask why in Perl 6 (if not Parrot) there seems to be no type support for strings with known encodings which are not subsets of Unicode? If the explanations are "you have greatly misunderstood the contents of Synopsis $foo", I will happily retire to my reading room. -- Chip Salzenberg - a.k.a. - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "What I cannot create, I do not understand." - Richard Feynman
