      Sigilless variables are actually aliases to the
      value it is assigned to them, since they are
      not containers. Once you assign a sigilless

Not to beat a dead horse, but when does that stop me!

"\" escape to a beginner means to escape the
following character

   > say "\$x"
   $x

   > print '\\abc\:\:' ~ "\n"
   \abc\:\:

So without a proper sigil explanation for
beginners, "using the escape \" means nothing.

Personally I never use \name are I hate how it looks, and so far I have never needed it, so unless I can find something it can do that I cannot do any other way, I'll keep on not using it
