I goofed. (EWRONGLIST)
I realise now that I should have said that RFC 328 (and 327) should have
been on this list, not perl-language-data
I had what I thought was a good look at previous RFCs but managed to miss
RFC226 (Selective interpolation in single quotish context.)
What I wanted comments about (I'm not sure if I favour it and so far 2
people have said they don't) is whether to be very strict on
q// == '' == *NO* interpolation

]
and hence "cure"
Does it strike anyone else as odd that 'foo\\bar' eq 'foo\bar'?
[Steve Fink,
http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg04008.html
]
by removing all \ escapes from '' and q(), to make perl's use of '' just like
/bin/sh, and identical to how perl treats <<'HERE'
I've asked the librarian what I should do, but as there's little time left
to demolish this idea, I've sent this mail here now.
