in reply to Perl 6 language -- change in hyperoperator syntax

Keep in mind that nothing is set in stone yet. The discussion on perl6-language and even the Apocalypses and Exegeses are all working documents subject to change. In fact, Allison Randal supossedly changes them to reflect current thinking as ideas and syntax mature.

    I know that they're all working documents, but the thing is, some bits have gotten up and started working, and once they've started working, they'll tend to stay working, I bet. That's really an aside, though.

    I'm just curious as to what the train of thought was to drop something small and relatively compact and that had decent symmetry with other operators, and move to a minimum 5 character op (for simple tasks), which seems Huffman cruddy.
