Hey, look at that, backticks again :) If the community rejected %hash`key because it was "ugly" (I still disagree), then will it accept `keys to mean $_.keys? And doesn't consistency want %hash`keys to be as valid as %hash.keys, then? That's dangerously close to %hash`key, even though it means something else. > ?$B$=$& ?$B$G$9 ?$B$M... Hmm...

Any defaulting to a variable that isn't $_ practically introduces a 2nd/Nth topic, even if it isn't officially called topic.
