Are you concerned about having an C<is default()> spelling at all
No, not at all. It really is a shorthand for a trait, after all, so it should
almost certainly have a trait name. Besides, C<is default> is probably needed for non-parameter variables too:
my %nickname is default("Bruce") = (
Wall => 'Wierd Al',
Lazzaro => 'Big Mike',
Khan => 'Ghengy",
);print "We'd better just call you %nickname{$name}\n";
or just about optional placements of C<=>? I agree that the C<is constant = 1> vs. C<= 1 is constant> is a potential point of confusion, and probably not worth the grief.
Yes, that's my concern.
I don't know that that means we couldn't have an C<is default()> spelling, though. And C<is variadic> (or something easier to spell) for the * case. If we have C<is optional> and C<is named>, I think it would be appropriate to have names for the other linenoise as well.
I agree. As long as it's not C<is slurpy>!
