That's about the only advantage of this scheme that I can think of.
The disadvantages, which affect everyone, are many and bigger:
search/replace headaches, novice confusion, adding to Perl's "syntax
infamy," etc.

(Besides, I'm sure you can Acme::-up something that implements this
scheme in Perl 6 for your own devious purposes anyway… ;)
