Sorry about that empty reply.

I was reading over S19 and had a few questions.
1) The colon delimiter (":name") is specified but no options are declared to
use it specifically. It's not clear why we would need this delimiter on top
of the other more popular delimiters. Are the long form (double dash), meta
syntax form (double p
Since I don't know anything about nuclear power plants, I think the BikeShed
should be painted blue and called "Rakudo Whatever" or just "Rakudo".

I want to pose the same question for clarification that I asked #perl6:
S01 says that perl5 code will be supported via "use v5". Can someone confirm
that embedded perl5 code is still required of any valid implementation? If
so, how will XS code be supported? Will the namespace between v5 code and

I just want to stress again that I would like to see no focus on just tap

makes sense to make to not use magical implied numbers, such as negatives,
to accomplish things that either ranges or whatever star can accomplish.
