Re^9: What is best for the future.

The same can be said for 'for'

'for' supports two very different things (the C-style 'for', and iteration over list), so I wouldn't put it in the same category.

Yet, 'for' and 'foreach' are actual aliases; both can do the same things. But here's another example: `tr///` and `y///`. Or do they provide two different things as well? How about `$$foo[0]` vs. `$foo->[0]`?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
