Based on an off-list discussion, it turns out that unary C=

pass it by p6l for review/comments/reactions.
Does it mean that it's a synonym to readline?
No. It's the general-purpose iterate this... operator.
Applied to a filehandle, it iterates the filehandle (which *is* equivalent to
calling Creadline).
But it can also be applied to any other iterator object, in which case it
calls that object's C.next method.
