I wonder what people will wish for next, // in function names?

(I don't think either one will/should happen)

    ++crazyinsomniac ... I would probably go just one step further and use type-globbing to simplify the subsequent function call - For example ...

    *{'is_contact_female?'} = sub {
    my @args = @_;
    ...
};

&{'is_contact_female?'}( @args );

    I first encountered this manner of subroutine assignment in Damian Conway's selfGOL obfuscation, a "must-read" for any aspiring obfuscator.
