Well, ** isn't available. 
    $x =** 4;

[download]
is a syntax error, as that parses as: 
    $x = ** 4;

[download]
. ** is the glob *.

Also, 

    $str =<<'--';
    Foo
    --

[download]

already has a meaning, so << is out as well.

x is also not available. 

    $x =x 4;  # Parses as $x = x(4), if there's a sub 'x'.

    << I considered shortly after I wrote this -- but I was already in bed. ** could probably DWIM. x may or may not be able to DWIM... I'd have to think about it more. In any case, enough of them simply won't work for it to kill the idea, methinks, so it's rather moot.
