[S09] Add the term semilist to S09
This way someone seeing the mention of semilist in S03 can search
through the spec and find the place where it's discussed in detail, S09,
just by searching for the term itself, rather than thinking to search
paths:

[S05] prefer term frugal to eager/minimal
It is unreasonably complicated to do single-character
input in a portable fashion. We should therefore
include the Term::ReadKey module in the standard
distribution.

The "www" in e.g., "www.netscape.com" is pronounced, IMO, in
the same way as other useless, should-be-obvious punctuation.
It's silent.
Seems like something you should take up with RFC 819, or maybe with
RFC 881, considering that they and their ramifying successors all
seem to be in flagrant
"foo.bar" ne "www.foo.bar"
pronounce("foo.bar") eq pronounce("www.foo.bar")
As in, "Surf to www.perl.org and read the new ..."
sounds like
"Surf to perl dot org and read the new ..."

Just to be absolutely certain,
If you want to save the world, come up with a better way to say "www".
(And make it stick...)
The funniest thing I've ever read is that Tim Berners-Lee's wife
supposedly criticized the term "www" because "world wide web" was
shorter to say than "www" (3 syllables vs. 9).

Numerical python uses "..." in the same sense for axis
lists in multi-dim arrays. (Improved syntax for multidim
arrays is one wishlist item from PDL for the perl core.
See RFC117)
NumPy allows you to say:
a[..., :];
where "..." means "however many", - so this is a slice along

I think this is fraught with peril. I'd have expected:
print (1, 2, 3, ...) or die;
to print

No, if that's what you wanted, you'd get it with
print( 1, 2, 3 .. ) # RFC 24
few months ago.

I think the point here is readability, not unique functionality.

I've always wished it was the famous "do what I mean" operator:
if ($a eq "input") {
... # let perl figure out what to do here
} else {
print "I need more input!\n";
}
That'd make "rapid application development"
