It needs to match (.*)<<((["'`])(\w+)\2)|(\w+))(.*) or something like that.

In Michael Schwerns prototype, expansion to treat both semicolons and comments
at the end tag is possible by changing
/^(\s*)$curr_tag\s*$/
to
/^(\s*)$curr_tag\s*(;\s*)?(#.*)?$/

This whole debate has got silly.
RFC 111 V1 covered both the whitespace on the terminator and the
indenting - there was a lot of debate that this was two things - more were
in favour of the terminator and there was more debate on the indenting.
Therefore I split this into two RFCs leaving RFC111

While this may be a fun thing to do - why? what is the application?

In Apocalypse 2, \Q is being used for two things, and I believe this may be
ambiguious.
It has the current \Quote meaning admitibly \Q{oute} it is also being
proposed for a null token disambiguate context. As in $foo\Q[bar].
But if it is spliting $foo and {this is in curlies} this will be taken

Does use of one idiom imply the closing quote is the same.
ie are the following allowed, prohibited or what?

Given A05 states that bare scalars match literally, quotemeta is (almost?)

Larry,
Wow, that was a very good demolition and rebuilding of the regex edifice.
When the RFCs were being written I spent many hours thinking over some
of the issues and writting many of the RFCs on regexes, trying to build on
what was in perl5, without changing the existing language use. By al

If one has a simple sub such as factorial:
sub factorial(int $a) {...}
then one subsequently declares the multi form of factorial to pick up the
non-integer form:
multi factorial(num $a) {...}
Does this promote the original declaration of factorial to a multi?
if not what happens?
