Subscripts now consistently dereference the container produced by
whatever was to their left. Whitespace is not allowed between a
-variable name and its subscript. However, there is a corresponding
-B<dot> form of each subscript (C<@foo.[1]> and C<%bar.{'a'}>). Constant
-string subscripts may be placed in angles, so C<%bar.{'a'}> may also

+variable name and its subscript. However, there are two ways to
+stretch the construct out visually. Since a subscript is a kind
+of postfix operator, there is a corresponding B<dot> form of each
+subscript (C<@foo.[1]> and C<%bar.{'a'}>) that makes the dereference
+a little more explicit. Constant string subscripts may be placed
+in angles, so C<%bar.{'a'}> may also be written as C<< %bar<a> >>
+or C<< %bar.<a> >>. Additionally, you may insert extra whitespace
+using the unspace.
