Maybe we've gone over this before but, if so, I don't remember ...

What would [.]method() mean?

What do these do?
if $a [<] @b { ... } # if $a < all(*@b) ???
if @a [<] @b { ... } # if $a[0] < all(*@b) &&

I'm not even sure how to hyper these two. I guess if I had an array
of "range objects" I could hyper ;
Would this write to several filehandles?
print @file_handles [:] "fooey!\n";
> .. - range
And this is the one that made me start thinking about hypering the
others
@a = @b[..]@c # @a = ($b[0]..$c[0], $b[1]..$c[1], ...) ???
@a = $b[..]@c # @a = ($b..$c[0], $b..$c[1], ...) ???
@a = @b[..]$c # @a = ($b[0]..$c, $b[1]..$c, ...) ???
I know that this stuff probably seems obvious to everyone, but I'd
rather have it explicit just in case :-)
