OK, I have a question.
On page 3 you say:

If the diamond operator can take an arbitrary expression, how is this
properly parsed?
my $line = < $some_counter_or_something > 1000 ?? $file1 :: $file2 >;
Wouldn't the '>' comparison operator screw it up? Or is it an arbitrary
expression except that you can't use the greater-than operator? Or is the
parser that smart?
Just curious...
