In a marked oversight, I'd also like to note that tr// would be replaced
with trade:

    Perl 5                      Perl 6
    --------------------------- --------------------------
    $str =~ tr/a/b/;            $new = trade /a/b/, $str;
    tr/a/b/;                    trade /a/b/;

This will be reflected in v2. However, it should be fairly obvious how
this fits in with the others.

I know 'tr' is really 'translate', but that's too long and it looks like
'trans' is going to be taken up by Transactional Variables (RFC 130).
'trade' connotes what is happening pretty accurately, I think.
