oops. i missed something :)

http://perlcabal.org/syn/S32/IO.html#open 

lot of documentations, specifications, and tools refers to RS as the
unit of the file can be other than a line. as Perl6 is very consistent
many things, i think it's awkward to use a named parameter that has no
link with the method name or the common way to name it 
( :nl, guess it's for "new line"? netherlands?) 

http://perlcabal.org/syn/S32/IO.html#input-line-separator 

don't you think :rs ( and the method input-record-separator ) must be
used there ? and why not carre about IFS ?
