I'd like to see a way to map methods and variables expected by a
role, onto
methods and variables provided by a class. I'd like it to be possible
for a class to provide several such maps, having the appropriate one
selected according to context.
Continuing an example from an earlier thread

No. :foo with trailing whitespace is taken to mean :foo(1), so the

In Perl 5, to set a slice, you have to write
%hash{ @keys } = @values;

whereas in Perl 6, it'd be nice to be able to say that with all
the keys and values on the right side somehow.
Shouldn't a simple

While you're there, also think about the gray area between arrays and hashes,
and whether .[...] subscripts are just a specialized form of .{...}
subscripts.
By the way, are lazy hash slices allowed?

If we had some kind of partitioning operator, it'd probably be generalized

Cool!
This doesn't solve the general case, but how about a left-side zip:
zip( @keys, @values ) = %hash;

This whole thing strikes me as a units problem. Much like we

I'm more worried about the fact that it's difficult to partition a

Didn't the list agree long ago on a `part` builtin? I

'sift' is the same number of characters as 'grep'. It's something
of a bikeshed to me whether this rename is implemented or not, though.
I don't much like it - it looks like a mistyped 'shift'. Is 'filter' too
long?

I usually avoid P6L discussions, but:
GNU Make has filter and filter-out, and I've always found the
polarity hard to remember.
I like grep.
