Well, the other guys are suggesting bow tie operators, so maybe we should keep «foo bar baz» with French quotes, and go with @a »*« @b for vector multiply.
I wouldn't have a problem with that.
That suggests to me that the circumlocution could be >>*<<.
A five character multiple symbol??? I guess that's the penalty for not upgrading to something that can handle unicode.
Actually, we could use <<foo bar baz>> for qw too if here-docs always have to be <<' or <<".
Yes. I thought we'd pretty much decided that anyway, hadn't we? Hmmm...I wonder if one could then write: $str = <<<<EOT>>; to make the heredoc terminator *really* stand out ;-) > Or we could change here docs to vv"TAG"
