Jon, I like all of your stated ideas in general. I also don't care about the
postfix %; that was just a concept example pulled from the inexact comparison
thread. The idea of using zero is also appropriate conceptually with shades of
how calculus works. I actually prefer the existing Range co

I am starting to get overwhelmed by the number of special names and I am
wondering why we need to have a flat naming space?
For example, wouldn't it be easier to remember (and to introspect) the

Under the section about twigils in S02, "$=var" is described as a "pod
variable". I'm not finding any other references to pod variables;
what are tey, and how are they used? (In particular, I'm wondering if
they're a fossil; if they aren't, I'd expect further information about
them to be in S26.)
