That's an interesting possibility, though I think about half the people
would misspell it. Maybe that's a feature. It works well for:
$yesno = whether any(@foo) == @any(@bar);
I don't mind it being long.
I should point out I'm rethinking the idea of whether or not whether and
not should be list operators. "not @foo" would have unexpected consequences
if it forces list context, so I think we better let people hyper those
manually if needed. I think we can leave "not" at the precedence of
list operators without actually making it one, but maybe we should make
a separate precedence level for it to keep list op precedence "pure".
