: What about:
:
: $result = join @data, "";
:
: It might not be a list manipulation operator, but people
: are going to get awfully confused if it isn't changed to
: this. Why should:
:
: $result = join "", @data;
:
: but:
:
: $result = map @data { "$_" };
Many methods could be done either way. All of these could likely be
made to work:
$result = join "", @data;
$result = "".join(@data);
$result = @data.join("");
$result = map { _$_ } @data;
$result = @data.map { _$_ };
$result = { _$_ }.map @data;
