I don't think we should change everything. There's a big risk that we
get "fix-happy" and change stuff that doesn't really make an
improvement. Personally, I like =~ because it has a nice analogy to the
math operator that makes something "sort of" equivalent to something
else.

We're getting deluged with RFC's and emails. We should start thinking
"will this RFC or idea *add value* to Perl 6?". If not, and it just
makes something work differently, it _might_ not be worth an RFC.

But I claim to have *no* authority on this issue. Just my($.02).
