Perl6 is compatible with perl5?

What I am suggesting is.

This is a statement that so many people don't get -- Programs cannot be *relying* on getting an error for wrong usage in a production program, as errors wouldn't deliberately be in the end program. I'm taking a case that people can't use and suggesting that a bit of extra clarity in precedence would create a more useful language without taking away usable features or causing incompatible change.

Nothing would help in your last example as it isn't intended to mean anything.

And if you altered the precedence in the manner I proposed, the golf course example would be:

' 'x318%i/9
as the integer ops are done first.
