That's not what "syntax" means.

    Heh, I'm not arguing against the fact that grammars specify syntax. I'm saying that just because Perl 6 as a language allows for more explicit hooks into its grammar engine than Perl 5 does, it doesn't then follow that "Perl 6 syntax is more complex".

      Encouraging programmers to change the syntax in arbitrary ways MAY make the syntax more complex. I guess that's all I'm saying, heh.
