Folks,
This is a poetic quine (or quine-maker) in perl5.
open myself, $0 and print myself;
The same thing in perl6 would be:
my $self = open $*PROGRAM_NAME; for =$self { say }
or
my $self = open $*PROGRAM_NAME; say for =$self;
or
my $self = slurp $*PROGRAM_NAME; print $self;
or

which unconditionally returns a scalar.
That'd be:
~slurp $file;

I think the long-dot
rule is built into the parser rather than falling out of the
longest-token rule.
I think so too, but why then cling to the dot?
s:p5/[\][#][^\]*[#][\]// (does not match \#\ )

I really prefer the form where .#() looks like a no-op method call,

think the front-end shape of .# is more recognizable as different

Very clever. But still not good enough when it comes to autoboxing.

they are infix operators so it goes the opposite direction.

{ ~slurp }($*PROGRAM_NAME).print
and even
(~slurp $*PROGRAM_NAME).print
works as expected but since ~slurp $file is really ~(slurp $file),
$*PROGRAM_NAME.~slurp.print
does not.
Folks,
With Perl6, we have singleton methods as
$me.meta.add_method(me = sub{ ... });
But is there a way to, say, add methods within lexical scope?
Take URI on Perl 5. URI behaves both as an object
my $uri = URI-new(http://dev.perl.org/perl6/;);
print $uri-path; # /perl6/
But it also

Thank goodness...I was beginning to think it was only me!
For the record, I agree with both of you, and that your proposed
