to say whether or not this is
confusing with adverb pairs, but I love the colon for private
methods/attributes and it's the one thing separating your new thinking
from my ideal Perl 6 OO.

Does this mean private methods will be called like this?
./:method()
FWIW, I like the original spec best. I'm not sure that the problems
with it aren't being exaggerated. But I've not written much Perl 6 yet
either...

ntly saw some of this on Linux as well. I didn't go as far
as to define --icudatadir, but I noticed that passing no icu options
causes Configure.pl to autodetect icu. You might give that a shot.
Please consider patching the documentation if what you find there doesn't work.

And if I understand correctly, that means that I want everything to

that.

e don't need `splice` and
`substr` at all, but there are times when it's more convenient to
specify with a starting point and a length than with a range.

Too bad sub names can't start with numbers:
0x $hex; # hex $hex
0x($hex);
0b $bin;
0o $oct;
That would make sense to me.

And this:

I believe bool::true and bool::false are enums (so they are 1 and 0,
respectively).

perl6-internals is about perl the implementation (which is parrot).
perl6-languag
I may be completely off base here, but I think this whole discussion
would be better suited for perl6-internals. A packaging system would
not be a feature of the language itself, but of its implementation.
Don't confuse Perl and perl.

Shouldn't that be:

--or--
for @a ¥ @b <-> { ... }

At this point, you may as well use C<.records> (think C<$/> -- record

Admittedly it's a much smaller case, but it should be useful, even if
I can't think of a non trivial case offhand.

If you can, the only case where I could see [1, 2, 3] being necessary is
in a sub call where the parameters are wrapped in parentheses.
