Wow. With those single-casting-cost cantrips, the OO color will surely make a huge comeback in Perl6: The Gathering golfing tournaments! :) I like them. They look really really good to my eyes after the first 20 minutes or so of mental reconfiguration. For some strange psychological reasons, they make Pugs 6.2 so much more enjoyable to work on for me. :-) Thanks, /Autrijus/
