Well, all's fair if you predeclare, but a language whose main
expression format is prefix or postfix is no longer Perl. Maybe
Perlisp or Pforth. Plus, given the complex interactions of the
various operators, many of which don't look like operators, it's not
necessarily straightforward to provide,
The inevitable question - why not support Polish Notation or Reverse
Polish ? Well known to be easier to use, since it involves no
ambiguities in regard to association, is notationally clearer (not
needing parentheses). Seems to make it easier to analyze what one might
want to mean by

In S02, "If a buf type is initialized with a Unicode string value, the string
is decomposed into Unicode codepoints,...If any other conversion is desired, it

In S29, there is nothing about functions in Buf, and nothing about functions
that convert or initialize St
The context in which a subscript is evaluated is no longer controlled
by the sigil either. Subscripts are always evaluated in list context.

HaloO,
I asked:
just re-reading S03 I saw that it defines the Rat to Int
conversion as truncation.
Hmm, does assuming floor semantics reveal the availability of
the tail function for Nums?
(-1.25).tail == 0.75
Can it also be used as an lvalue?
my Rat $x = -5/4; # note that this is (-5)/
HaloO,

Yes. I thought we have gone over this in the div/mod discussion that
ended with specifying floor semantics for %. I sort of hoped for a

This is correct -- the "of

For other operators, non-assoc etc, the work will probably all have to
be linear. Eg difference|quotient|exponentiation.
That's why I would rename the left and right operator associativity
to left and right sequentiality. Note that there's a fundamental
difference
