Then isn't making \w+ the default for match much easier?
(Although I still want m// to correspond to .m and s/// to .s, not m//
to .match and s/// to .subst.)
I think this is so often used that the default isn't even as insane as
it may appear at first sight.

say "foo bar baz".match(/\w+/)
rx is optional, as bare // does rx// in Rule context, not m//.
