Re: RFC: Filehandle type-defining punctuation

[Peter Scott]

If the prefix-less form of filehandles was absent from Perl 6, I would be 
far less enthusiastic about my RFC.  I agree; they're a kind of scalar.

(Just occurred to me that one could view the % prefix of hashes as denoting 
a key-value pair by virtue of looking like two o's separated by a 
divider.  Never seen this interpretation before, though.)
