What if Perl 6 simply reserved tags for extensions? This could assume
processing similar to Perl 5 for compatibility, but allow for custom extensions
to be added (and shared). That way, the language experts can write the code the
way it should be written, and the Perl 6 developers can focus on the core (and
the hooks to support the extensibility). I'm sure that many of these sorts of
issues will arise as time goes on, and I don't see the need for entire project
to be stalled because of them.
