Whoa! Is RFC 94 being considered?! I thought I retracted that. ;-)

Yeah, this part I like alot. And if we keep <> like your code example
suggests I'll shut up. :-)
I don't think we're seriously in danger of turning Perl into a wild
froofroo language (we all love it too much). But it's easy to do so
without realizing it by successive iterations of seemingly minor
changes which together add up to a big difference.
