of variables -- even allowing them to specify dynamic-ish properties about
the values in those variables.
Damian's Attribute::Types has examples like this
For the record, bwarnock pointed out to me that damian allready proposed
this behavior in RFC 25...
http://dev.perl.org/rfc/25.html
That RFC doesn't suggest having the comparison operators set properties
on their result -- instead it recomends that "multiple chained comparisons

$v1 = VALUE1;
return ($v2-$v1 == abs($v2-$v1));
After reading the Apocalypse & Exegesis articles, and seeing some examples
of properties and the "is" operator, I'd lik
