FWIW, I like the original spec best. I'm not sure that the problems
with it aren't being exaggerated. But I've not written much Perl 6 yet
either...

No, I think that's still just

This missing design rationale
as well. I didn't go as far
as to define --icudatadir, but I noticed that passing no icu options
causes Configure.pl to autodetect icu. You might give that a shot.
Please consider patching the documentation if what you find there doesn't work.

Too bad sub names can't start with numbers:
0x $hex; # hex $hex
But they can, if you call them prefix operators instead of subs. See
also -e and alike operators, which start with a character that isn't
even
` and
`substr` at all, but there are times when it's more convenient to
specify with a starting point and a length than with a range.

Too bad sub names can't start with numbers:

I believe bool::true and bool::false are enums (so they are 1 and 0,
respectively).

we have an easy way to create new iterators. I'm not sure how useful

Agreed; that's why I'd include last for newbies to use. 0th as last
works only as an extension of -1st as first from last, -2nd as
second from last, and so on; you have positive numbers counting from the
first, and negative numbers

At this point, you may as well use C.records (think C$/ -- record

for $foo.records { ... }
Then it'd be a small step to allow:

Unfortunately, some of the code here is much worse than that.
