Well if C<~> were made the hyper prefix (squiggly line suggesting motion or 'and so on' through a set of things?) that would free up C<^>. And the caret could be a bracket if you rotate your head to the right: ^ 1 2 3 v Might have to outlaw ending identifiers with "v" though ... Now that C<.> is used in bitwise operators, does it make sense to use it in bitwise shifts too: $a .< $b $a .> $b That would almost free up C< << > and C< >> > for being brackets of some sort, but only 'almost' here-docs use the former.
