Numerical applications will get a significant boost if
N-dim arrays with native slicing are possible in perl6.

Both Python and Tcl support features like this and I agree that a perl
shell would be useful.

Math::GMP is on

Since you have a fourth argument couldn't that be used for the length
of the byte stream rather than embedding that length into the byte stream
itself? Makes more sense to me to separate the bytes from the length.

understand that it will be extended at least until late September

altime() replacement. Whether time() returns fractioanl seconds or a
libtai object (with seconds and nanoseconds) is another issue. All of
these are simply integer second offsets from each other.

What about:
for (0..$#array) {
print $array[$i], " is at index ", $i, "\n";
}
I use that whenever I need to loop over indices of two arrays at once.

The above is fine if they return fileobjects. The issue is probably that
the socket() and sysopen() commands would probably end up in modules
(aka IO::Socket and IO::Sysopen).

In fact RFC #7 ("Higher Resolution time values") suggests that the
concept of "number of seconds since epoch" will have to make room for
fractions of a second anyway.
