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… ;) -John
