Why not leave it in the language spec then? If it's too hard to implement, then the first release of Perl 6 can leave it out. Someday somebody might come up with an implementation. BTW, I thought the Apocalypses were moving us away from the-tarball-defines-the-language. Am I wrong to think that Perl 6 "the spec" may have more than Perl 6 "the release"? - Ken
