in thread Pseudo-sigils and Exporting file handles (was: ...beause I can)

*LOG would have been my choice, too; but then I only ever use that when I'm after a file handle and rarely worry myself with the rest of the glob.

Perhaps <LOG> instead? It'd require a little bit extra to remove the trailing '>', but should be pretty obvious about what it does.

    I like that. Indeed, it's very clear what it's for when you use it in the import list. My code will switch off the leading '<', but the trailing would foul things... that is, it wouldn't be "free" in the existing code designed to handle the regular sigils.
