in thread Perl 6 - Operator renaming

What is your concern about the ?? :: operator? I like the new fat forms, because they're easier to spot and are now somewhat grouped with && and ||.

Juerd # { site => 'juerd.nl', plp_site => 'plp.juerd.nl', do_not_use => 'spamtrap' }

    By the way, we just changed ??:: to ??!! for various reasons, the most important of which is to avoid visual confusion with :: as a name separator. But it also has a nice correspondence with the relationship of unary ? and ! operators. (Plus it discourages people from defining their own !! infix operator, which was deemed to be confusing in various ways.)
