Only as much as it currently does in Perl 5. > To boot, I can't think of a way to implement that in currently-defined > Perl 6, which should scare you. No, you see, that's not an argument for not putting something in the language. The fact that you *can* already do it in pure Perl 6 is a good reason for not putting something in, (because it may be superfluous) but by dismissing something which is currently impossible, you ensure that it remains impossible. This doesn't mean I like @STACK, I think it's a strange idea, but for different reasons. :) -- People in a Position to Know, Inc.
