To be honest, I don't think that'll be a problem, but only because by the
time Perl 6 is widely deployed, people will have got themselves sorted out
as far as Unicode's concerned. I suspect similar things were said when C
decided to use 7 bit characters.

That doesn't mean I think Unicode operators are a good idea, of course.
