Operators/reserved words should be lowercase. Period. ;)
I think that this would heavily break consistency, annoying new users.
There are already many uppercase reserved words in perl6:
Pseudo-packages from S02
MY, OUR, GLOBAL, OUTER, CALLER, CONTEXT, SUPER, COMPILING
Closure traits from S04
BEGIN, CHECK, INIT, END, FIRST, ENTER, LEAVE, KEEP,
UNDO, NEXT, LAST, PRE, POST, CATCH, CONTROL
From S10
AUTODEF, CANDO
Submethods from S12
BUILD, BUILDALL, CREATE, DESTROY, DESTROYALL
Pseudo-class from S12
WALK
I might've missed some.
So making statement modifiers uppercase would just be an another place
where perl6 uses uppercase reserved words.
