I think qc() should be allowed to look like perl code; but be
discarded silently by the parser, inserting () or '' where 
appropriate to ensure silence:

    print
       "things:\n",
       qc/ show 'em all /, # replaced with empty list by compiler
       @things;

    print
       "total:\n" .
       qc{ show total } . # replaced with empty string by compiler
       $total;
