Sorry, I believe everything is an operator---or actually operators

not dispatched because the type system manages to produce the same

Conceptually I like to define the semantics of Perl6 in terms of type
and dispatch.
I thought so too, but then i was informed that both assignment and
method call dispatch are not operators.
Not even conceptually? That means the wonderfully obvious and intuitive
strings '=' and ':=' are blocked for plain users unless they mess with
the grammar and re-compile the part of CPAN that is of interest to them
with this modified version? What a maintenance nightmare!
