If hypothetically we *are* going to have a simplfied constant-index hash access syntax, is there any reason why we can't use a single quote (') rather than backtick ('), akin to the Perl4-ish package separator,
ie %foo'bar rather than %foo`bar? On the grounds that personally I hate the backtick :-) -- That he said that that that that is is is debatable, is debatable.
