I guess you disliked his idea so much you didn't bother to read what exactly
he said, right?
As with methods, a simple [...] scalar should be usable
hash slices aren't used much at all.
People *always* overgeneralize.

I propose we pretend that $$foo = 'bar' stills work and use that as a benchmark
for hash subscripting ease. If it requires fewer keystrokes or neuron fires to
write Perl 4 code, then Perl 6 might be succeding on the programming in the
small but failing at programming in the large.

Perhaps this is naive, but couldn't something like this be achieved in a
manner similar to how I just implemented it in Ruby? Surely Perl will have
similar capabilities to handle unknown methods.

Very top row, one space right of the F12 key. Extremely awkward.
