it's a common idiom to use map to create listified hashes map { $_ => 0 } LIST

orthogonality always makes sense!

(at least in the long run ... have a look into the python world)

local @_ ? are you serious?

can we have a technical discussion w/o talking about persons?

And cause you rated me, you'll maybe believe if I say that I already spend hours and days meditating about the problem to distinguish between arguments which are given as a plain list and a "list sigil" like %H or @A.

Prototypes are just not mature enough!!!

The optimal solution would ideally do lazy calculations. I did a talk about such constructs in Riga and GPW. But this is too much of a thread drift now.
