Well, with we I meant the Perl 6 language list and need
is driven by the observation that we can't agree on a single
definition, so picking your personal favorite should be
possible.
By all means have them

My list was sorted in decreasing order of importance with the

Agreed. My only doubt at this point is which definition should be the

standard (F, I think)?
I think industry (language) standard is undefined behavior ;)
I'm kind of waiting for an answer what fear

Tweak | to provide longest-token instead of short-circuit semantics.
Now use || for old short-circuit semantics!

Note, in case you don't read synopsis checkins: the previous checkin
majorly changes the semantics of | within regex to support required
longest-token matching semantics rather than left-to-right matching.
This is nearly on the same philosophical level as requiring the
tail-recursion optimization.
Synopsys 13 mentions an is commutative trait in its discussion of
operator overloading syntax:
Binary operators may be declared as commutative:
multi sub infix:+ (Us $us, Them $them) is commutative {
myadd($us,$them) }
A few questions:
Is this restricted to only binary

Seems reasonable. My generality alarm goes off when I realize that
you can't specify commutativity for two of the three args, but that's
fine because it's definitely a cpanable feature.
IIRC, it's possible to embed one signature within another one; if the
embedded signature
