The current stance seems to be that low-level things are spelled with underscores, while we reserve the minus character for user-space code. Try grepping the specs for identifiers of built-ins that have a minus in it -- I didn't find any in a quick search. > And why is this entire message written in questions? Is it? I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. See https://github.com/perl6/specs/commit/a7cfe02002f665c120cf4b735919779820194757 maybe it's a charset problem on your machine, or something.
