\%foo = \%bar is fine with me, it's the "is alias" I was a little worried
about.

Is there a problem with the following? Besides that it doesn't work
like I want it to? Am I mistaken in believing that it is a clear,
concise and unambiguous way to request assignment of a symbol to
be an alias to another?
my \%foo = \%bar;
(And besides that it extends p5 syntax instead of being apo2-compliant?)

"Hush!" said the little boy's mother. But it was too late. The
emperor's agents had already heard his meek, innocent question and
were rushing through the crowd. The emperor's agents took the boy
away and he was never, ever, seen or heard from again.
