I agree. (Well, I would, wouldn't I? :-)
But if people really, really hate the idea of the @ symbol as a prefix
modifier/sigil, I think that there are some alternatives which also look
good. (See my previous post.)
!parameter=expression # bang parameter
>parameter=expression
^parameter=expression
~parameter=expression
(but not $parameter, thank you).
I suppose that we could even add yet another overloaded meaning on the
asterix:
# with no default, * keeps the old meaning of collecting
# extra positional values
*parameter
# with a default, * triggers late-binding
*parameter=expression
I should hate that, I know I should... but I kinda don't.
