In the table I'm assembling, the following entry was added:

 Perl 5              Perl 6         Comment
 -----------         -----------    -----------------------
 @F                  @*INPLACE_AUTOSPLIT_FIELDS   ..or some such


Can I just speak in favour of retaining the @F name? My reason for this is because it's used in one-liners, and who wants to type @*INPLACE_AUTOSPLIT_FIELDS in a one-liner? It's enough to make one reach for awk.

        :)
