Some questions:
1. How do you specify alternate filehandles to output to?
select() doesn't count for the purposes of this question.
2. How do you support the list form of print, namely:
print "Hello there ", $r->fullname, "!\n";
3. Can you support here documents with this syntax?
4. How does this nest within other perl statements, namely:
print "Bob is ", $bob->color if $green;
print $r->param($name) . " is on\n" unless $this;
5. How is this syntax a big win over the current print?
The only difference I see is it's 3 characters shorter.
I realize this is subjective, but a feature request
should try to address a problem. What problem is there
with the current print operator?
As you say:

We should consider if this *adds value* to Perl 6. If not, we should
start trimming down some RFC's and retracting them. If this RFC presents
a significant win, we should keep it. If not (I personally don't see
one), we should retract it.
I'm not claiming to be authoritatively speaking for the list. I just
want to give Larry RFCs and input that we feel addresses stuff that
really should be in Perl 6 because it adds value.
Just trying to do my job as chair of this list. :-)
Thanks,
Nate
