Mark,
Well, because _ is a valid subroutine/variable name char, it would require
surrounding whitespace, at least in
certain contexts. I believe that's what did it in. Nothing to do with
readability/typability.
They had already addressed that, tho. Larry said in the relevant Apocalypse:
The only downside to that is the space between a variable name and the operator
is required. This is to be construed
as a feature.
So I dunno. _ works well in TT2, as we see. And anyways, if you're going to toss _, where did ~ come from? Just seems
like a desperate choice to me (i.e. "now, which piece of punctuation do we have left over ... ?").
