in reply to RFC: Idiomless Perl

Because keeping things like the correct context straight are "idiomatic".

Contexts, sigils, et al. are not idiomatic, they are fundamental concepts of the language. Just because they are not commonly found in other languages, doesn't mean they are hard, bad, or that they should be avoided. Not every language needs to be C-Style.
