I notice that CKeyWeight returns False and deletes the key for a key
whose value goes to zero or less than zero, issuing a warning in the
latter case. Is it the case that CFatRat always evaluates to False
in Boolean context when negative?
This last SOTO re-reminded me of what an inveterate fan I am of Perl 6. Wow.
My question today is about concurrency. I can imagine how things like IPC

I think so (after fixing a couple of minor typos).
Does this mean that you can only pass defined attributes to a constructor ?
What if you want to pass parameters that are used during build but don't

you an idea.
I would write the class comme ça:

Haha, that will teach me for trying to golf on public mailing lists.
It should actually read:

+(sprintf(%b,$n).split('')); # now I'm just golfing :-D
}
unless you only ever want to use it with the number 7.

Hi all,

$obj.META, the latter has implemented $obj.meta.
Is there any reason I shouldn't change the tests from meta to META, make the
corresponding changes in Pugs.Prim, and then fix any other examples or modules
