At which point one might ask oneself whether it is more important that
the synopses be amusing and punny, or that they clearly specify what
is expected of a conforming Perl 6 implementation.

Now, just so you don't think I'm all cranky and humour-impaired: I got
the pun, I smiled a bit at it -- but I already know what a "standard
prelude" is. Those who don't are going to be confused in two ways when
they read the above, making the explanatory comment essentially
useless.
