Could someone summarize the arguments for such an operator? Doing so, to
me, seems to subtrack from the scripting domain something which belongs
there. Teaching the transform in classes is a wonderful way to both
illustrate the power of Perl's map, and more importantly, help programmers
this would have to be a proper module and not a builtin op. there is no
reason to make this built in.
This was essentially my point with regards to naming this op
"map_sort_map". Just explaining the function of the op negates its
usefulness *as* an op, because of the complexity of extracting

I've read, in the glibc info manuals, the the similar situation

signal handler; just set a flag and return, then check that flag from
your main loop, and run a

Do we want prettier? Or do we want more useful?
Perl is not exactly known for its pretty syntax.

To me, the usual definition of "normalization' is conversion of something

At the moment, I'm not particularly inclined to argue unicode. Short of
