in reply to Perl 6 language -- change in hyperoperator syntax

Oh boy. Can you imagine trying to write pod documentation for a method that uses the hyperoperator to apply a shift to an array of integers:)

    Indeed. I too hope that ^op gains favor over <<op>> for situations exactly like this (or what about POD docs on a hyper here-doc? ;-). But since everything is still in flux, it's just as likely that the bit-shift operators could change instead.

    Not that it would be much prettier without being in POD.
