Is this a trend we should extrapolate into the lifetime scope
of the Perl 6 language?
How far are we in this process, given Unicode guillemets for hyper ops?
Is this supposed to be a joke or a serious contribution to the
discussion? Mine was serious in the sense that I consider the
enforcement of whitespace for infix ops a good thing or at least
not a bad side-effect. What's so different in $foo-bar versus
$foo*bar, $foo+bar or $foo/bar? The latter might e.g. indicate
path variables. Or imagine a coding convention where junctive
variables bear their generating operator: $foo|bar, $foo&bar and
$foo^bar.
