So, if P5 does it for some global (note: global != environment)
variables, then why not do it for some in P6?
Because if (for some reason) I do:
$> = 5; # Which calls setuid(5);
print $>; # 5
Whereas:
$*CWD = '..'; # which hypothetically calls chdir '..';
print $*CWD; # /home
Ok, so suppose we only allowed direct assignment to absolute paths?
