Only the triple-questionmarks were meant as questions. I should have
picked a better meta-operator for AVAILABLE?. But apparently, even
though I didn't mean to ask so many questions, there still are answers I
hadn't thought about.
Thanks for your detailed reply!

Do we have postfix ! for factorials, or is it available?

Why would a single $ be a bad operator? We already have the single % for
mod, and that works well. I think @ and $ are perfect candidates for
infix operators.

aww :)

Is there any important difference between "namespace" and "class" in
Perl 6? Do they share the same, ehm, namespace? (classspace?)
Thanks again.
