I have been a lurker since early November. Dan S. suggested I get over here when I
wrote a piece on the summary list describing my feelings about vector operations in
perl 6. My information was based on the recent O'Reilly book and I had to confess that
I have never in my life opened a CVS file.
When I see these long squiggles of line noise, I can't help thinking that
English might be a better alternative. Using Larry's terminology from a few
posts ago, we might think of:
@a \C[leach] + \C[reach] @b
Not mnemonic in a visual sense, but extendable to all sorts of trigraph
contexts. Indee
