Why keep the s?
substr works perfectly as both rvalue and lvalue, and I think m[], also
known as //, can do the same. No need to do things based on delimiter
(bracket versus non-bracket), then.

Hmmm... I have no answer for the non-mutating version, but:
$str.match(/pat/) = "replacement";
$str.m(/pat) = "replacement";

Can't this be generalized somehow? Return an lvalue proxy, like substr
does, and make thunking the default for certain LHS types.
I don't like special syntax that looks like normal syntax.
