Yet Test::Harness::TAP calls them comments and comment lines!
Put on my boots for a second. Here's what I'm trying to explain:

Maybe "set" should be an operator akin to "any", "all", "one", and "none",

HaloO Luke,

*If A nor B is 3 ...
What does the * in front of the if mean? Not?
With "grammar reason" I meant the formal grammar of Perl6
not the one of natural english. Are you aware of such reasons?
In English it's more like:

I'm happy to announce the release of Pugs 6.0.5, now with a better
grammar spec merged from Perl6.grammar, as well as a much better
Eval monad structure that supports lexical and dynamic scopes,
shift/reset, callcc, and pluggable evaluator.
It should be on CPAN as Perl6::Pugs in a few hours. I'd

*What* is a comment? Is it the semantically insignificant text that can

What follows are the notes I have from someone else regarding the name
"comment" for what was previously considered the "label."
It's actually rather important that I have an answer for this, but I
really can't go into more detail (sorry).

You know, not every operation in Perl 6 needs to have a punctuation
operator.
I think we should not use \, and also get rid of ^. I'm interested in
seeing an example where using ^ is readable enough over on
