Re: Perl 6 language -- change in hyperoperator syntax

Oh boy. Can you imagine trying to write pod documentation for a method that uses the hyperoperator to apply a shift to an array of integers:)

Indeed. I too hope that `^op` gains favor over `<<op>>` for situations exactly like this (or what about POD docs on a hyper here-doc? ;-). But since everything is still in flux, it's just as likely that the bit-shift operators could change instead. duff	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Not that it would be much prettier without being in POD. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
