Surely the next request will be to make anything that works outside
of quotes work inside of them, completely erasing the useful visual
distinction.  Why should operators, after all, be any different
from functions?

    print "I have Fooey->fright($n) frobbles.\n";
    print "I have &snaggle($n) frobbles.\n";
    print "I have abs($n) frobbles.\n";
    print "I have $x+$y frobbles.\n";

What's the use of quotes these days anyway?
