I don't like changing the semantics without changing the syntax.
There's too much of that in perl6 already. But shouldn't index() be a
method of the string object anyway?

Something that has long bothered me in C and Perl is the return from
index. -1 is such a non-answer to me.
In Perl 6, I was wondering if it would make sense for functions that
return a count or index to set the truth property as well. For example,
allowing:
if index($subject,"**SPAM**")
