Again, I'm wondering if we're going about this wrong way -- perhaps we need to go to more effort to save ^ as xor, and use something different for hypers, like h<+> or h[+] or `+ or ~+ or ~~+, etc?OK, I'm calling "Warnock's" on this one. Is this just so far-fetched that nobody's touching it with a ten foot pole, or am I missing something, or ?
I know this was dealt with many months ago, but that was before we changed ~ to stringify, making the xor situation worse. Isn't there any way to keep ^, since we've just stated that the super meaning "one" ($a ^ $b ^ $c) is actually a worthwhile concept? (Yes, we would also need to think about altering { $^a op $^b } in the same way.)
I'll shut up now on this one. But nobody's taking the bait, eh?
