Re^2: Slice Madness

Yes, it's fixed in Perl 6. In fact, it's already fixed in Pugs: pugs> say ~(1..10) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 But your solution is bad Huffman coding. Range objects are much more useful than flipflops, and therefore should get the .. operator.

Range objects are much more useful than flipflops, and therefore should get the .. operator. Either way works for me; I was trying to be charitable to the opposing position. :-) I'll always prefer the solution that lets me keep my favourite syntax (i.e. the range operator), but I didn't know if there were a ton of hidden ex-sed and awk lurkers out there ready to gripe at me if I suggested the range operator be used instead. :-) -- Ytrew	[reply]
