I believe you tried this one a couple years ago, and people freaked
out. As an alternative, could we get a different operator for this? I propose one of:
$fh -> $fh» (and $fh>>) $fh>
All three have connotations of "the next thing". The first one might interfere with pointy subs, though, and the last two would be whitespace-sensitive. (But it looks like that isn't a bad thing anymore...)
Any other suggestions, people?
++$fh
