The flip side is that, since we won't use C<`> as an operator in Perl 6, you're free to use it to introduce any user-defined operators you like, including a bare C<`>. All is fair if you predeclare. Most languages won't even give you that...
I just realized there's another operator that has no infix meaning yet, and so is free to use (and perhaps more visually pleasing):
%hash\key (or $foo\bar\baz\42 )
vaguely reminiscent of DOS/Win32 paths :-D
Just curious, when adding such an operator myself, would it be possible to make it work on both hashes and arrays, without making the op very slow?
