You're correct in terms of the current (and hopefully continuing) state
of things.
 

Went back and re-read your first post, and that is indeed what you were 
saying, I just read it too fast.

I'd be seriously annoyed if eq went away. It's one of those things that 
makes Perl Perl. It's up there with the postfix if.

   ~$a == ~$b
feels too much like:
   Cast(String, $a).Compare(Cast(String, $b))
