So do they have to go at the end of the whole expression in the current grammar?
I don't follow about the spaces. Do you write
$a lt:lc $b le:lc $c
or
$a lt :lc $b le :lc $c
or
$a lt $b :lc le $c :lc
?
Making the default a contextual variable would allow the library to do it with
no core syntax concerns:
$+Str::compare = 'lc';
# applies to rest of lexical scope
if $a lt $b le $c ...
--John
