Sorry, I didn't mean to assume the worst. Refs seem like they might be subtly different in Perl 6, but there's no perldoc perl6reftut to fill in the details. Also, note that I did write: "What is the uniformity of the design that I don't yet see?"

I think there will be a lot less uncertainty bouncing around once the perldocs are in place. Then when someone says, "Um, I dunno, this particular feature/aspect looks weird -- I don't understand it and it makes me nervous", instead of directing them to the rather dense Synopses or telling them not to worry the design team has done a good job, you can just point them to the relevant self-contained friendly perldoc. :)

(BTW, although there seems to be a lot of anon monks here, this is only my 2nd post in this thread.)
