-This operator, which behaves exactly like the Perl 5 fatarrow in being
-equivalent to a comma, is purely for easier migration from Perl 5
-to Perl 6. It is not intended for use by programmers in fresh code;
-it is for use by the p5-to-p6 translator to preserve Perl 5 argument
-passing semantics without losing the intent of the notation.

-This operator is purposefully ugly and easy to search for. Note that,
-since the operator is equivalent to a comma, arguments come in as
-positional pairs rather than named arguments. Hence, if you have
-a Perl 5 sub that manually handles named argument processing by
-assigning to a hash, it will continue to work. If, however, you edit
-the C<< p5=> >> operator in an argument list to Perl 6's C<< => >>
-operator, it becomes a real named argument, so you must also change
-the called sub to handle real named args, since the named pair will no
-longer come in via C<@_>. You can either name your formal parameters
-explicitly if there is an explicit signature, or pull them out of C<%_>
-rather than C<@_> if there is no explicit signature.

-[This operator will not actually be supplied by the core Perl 6 language
-but only by the translator as a macro, so don't write any new
-code with it.]
