Well, that opens up a few possibilities...
First of all, we'll want to have a unary defaulting operator. For
example,
mmmm $donuts
should check the type of $donuts and do the same thing as
$donuts is default
The universal definition of default should return undef so that
mmmm $donuts doh "burrrrrp!!!"
Would do what you expect.
In our next issue, I'll be getting into the intricacies of the
chainable diddly-aye-o suffix operator....
