No idea. It just seemed like it ought to be made to mean something. On the other hand, maybe making %:handlers special is wrong, and it should delegate by default to an Array object. In which case we'd need a different declaration for cascading handlers, and there's no pressure to make %:hash mean anything special. If this were English, we'd just make it "handle" instead. But that's a rather subtle distinction. Don't anyone suggest »handles... :-) Larry
