: please remind me how to spell "binary not" in Perl6?
The mnemonic is that it's like xoring with all ones, so it's C<^>,
except that the bitops are all demoted to needing a "numerifying"
C<+> in front, so it comes out to C<+^>, unless you meant "stringwise
binary not", in which case it's C<~^>. In either case, there is both
an infix operator for xoring two values, plus a unary operator that
xors with an assumed value of all ones. In any event, it's all very
regular now, with no dependencies on the prior history of the values
in question (unlike in Perl 5).
