Right. I suspect that as people get more experience with the new Perl 6 compiler the 2 operand ops will go away (or vice versa). At the very least, ops will be ordered so that frequent ops are nearby each other. If an infrequent op doesn't save more CPU time than blowing the instruction cache wastes, it's a net loss. - Ken
