I'm still contemplating how to get rid of the :: in the
ternary and make :: unequivocally available for a type
sigil and as a binary infix for symbol lookup.
Here's a possible solution:
1) ?? becomes a binary operator that behaves as follows:
a) it evaluates its lhs in boolean context

Problem is that the version said to be required is often bogus. For example,

Well personally I use Module::Install (where no_index is also mostly
undocumented too, but exists). It's what all the Cool Kids(tm) use these

The first demo of this I'm
hoping to do is a use of Perl::MinimumVersion to find cases where a
module is listed as working with (for example) Perl 5.005, but the
module syntax shows that it needs 5.006. (and thus the version

I believe that the single most important feature of the ternary operator is
that it is ternary. That is, unlike an if-else sequence, it's impossible to
leave out the "else" in a ternary operat

quick questions:

our constant pi = 3; # legal?

This is consistent with "sub foo", "our sub foo", and "my sub foo",
