Specifically I'd like to have the possibility of doing something like this:
rename -v => 1, $orig, $new;
It's already being done:
rename $orig, $new :verbose;
sub rename($orig, $new, +$verbose) { say "Renaming `$orig' to `$new'" if $verbose; ... }
The colon is just a different syntax for a pair constructor; "say" is what many languages call "printline".
