That's why I never suggested fixing it in Perl 5 -- the chance of breaking
any existing code did NOT seem worth considering for something so minor.

But if Perl 6 is likely to break a few things anyway, then this would be an
appropriate time to consider such a change.  (If it actually makes sense.)
