That'll teach me to jump in without proper research. I had forgotten about
the .. range operator and I wasn't even aware of the ... variety (I am now).
I suppose it would be too cheeky to attempt to redeem myself by
suggesting ->> as a range operator? (I would have suggested -> but that
introduces problems with it meaning the same as comma in some situations.)
P5 P6
-> .
. ..
.= ..= (or =.. for concat after)
.. ->>
... ->>>
Another option I briefly considered for concat was .+
Perhaps too many changes overall, but food for thought for those without
chronic indigestion already!
