Well, not exactly wrong, just slightly out of date. The HOF RFC (023)
specifies ^_ and friends. The $ prefix has been added since, which not only
disambiguates the concat hyper-operator, but also maintains consistancy with
the idea that '$ means scalar'.
Actually... Damian, does this, along with the new reference/context stuff,
mean that HOFs could also have hash and array parameters? I guess there's no
reason why not...
