Ok. So here is something revolutionary.
Free up "Perl 6" for a future generation of Perl 5 and remove the ceiling
on the perl 5 language. Perl 6 has become more than a major iteration,
hasn't it?
Perl on parrot
Perl on jam
Perl on mono
Lots of space for a five from six once you vacate the lot.
Thought the conversation felt like bikeshedding but... My point still

Perl was great, but it's dated. Why have the baggage? Rakudo is a new

Currently it's possible to change the language to (a subset of) Perl 5 (
https://github.com/rakudo-p5/v5) so it should be possible to at least
prototype the units handling.
