aufflick has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In this bumper week of PM posting by yours truly, I have just been reading over the node Quantum::Superpositions and the cpan module docs (Quantum::Superpositions) and I must say it appears to be an incredibly useful extension (if only the package name wasn't so long to type...)

I'm wondering if people use this in production code, and if anyone would care to post their favourite use for it.

      That's a great node - thanks.

      But Q::S falls into the category of "purpose is to explore and prototype future core language features". That tells me that it's maybe not ideal since a similar but different syntax might be introduced, and also that TheDamian doesn't promise that it is good for production, but that doesn't mean that it is in fact not stable or fast enough for production.

      I do, however, feel appropriately warned.

      As per other comments on that thread, this does again point to the difficulty in sometimes doing a: 

      sort {wheat($a) <=> chaff($b)} @CPAN

        The features you're getting in Q::S are part of the core in perl6.
