I'm staying completely out of the argument that spawned this (Though the 
idea of welding SQL directly into perl has some appeal--it was one of the 
few (okay, the only one I can think of, but there must have been others) 
nice things about PL/SQL), but I would like to note that this statement, 
while true, is effectively meaningless. Might as well say the same about 
perl 5 because anyone who wanted to could hack toke.c.

Just because things are possible doesn't make them easy and, while they'll 
be easier in perl 6 that still doesn't mean they'll be easy.
