I think the proper phrase here is "ick". To my non-C, non-Shell
programming eyes, that's just a confused jumble. It'll also play hell
with trying to mix strings in there. I could live my entire life
without seeing:
$foo = $one$two'three'$four"five"$six

(The hellish abomination of ;) indirect object syntax works like this:
$obj = new Some::Module @args;
to mean
$obj = Some::Module->new(@args);
Any proposal which tries to use whitespace as a concatination operator
runs into its territory, but I don't think yours would cause problems
(except for the rash of patients admitted to local hospitals with
bleeding eyes).
