I very much like the new suggested uses for C<&> and C<|>, and making the rarely-useful bitwise ops be longer to type. But I'm not keen on trippled symbols: I reckon it's two easier to muddle them with their doubled counterparts when scanning code, much easier than it is to confuse single and doubled symbols. The C<==> and C<===> distinction in PHP is not easy to spot. > But then there's ~ vs ~~~ too. That gave me an idea. What about using the tilde as the first character in bitwise ops? $x ~& $y # bitwise and $x ~| $y # bitwise or ~!$x # bitwise not Smylers
