I'm not supposed (for some value of supposed) to use Perl at my job, but I do,
and I suspect I use string concatenation in about one script in five,

I might have missed this, but if + introduces bitwise operations,
why aren't we using it in the shift operations?
+&+|+^

Did I miss the report of the bistable ... operator's death?
I've looked around, but I can't seem to find it.

I think that would be:
`<> - synonym for «op»
`>>op<< - synonym for »op«
Unless I misunderstood Larry's post, in which case it might be:
`<>` - synony
Adjusted for the most recent notes: includes «op» as the preferred (and
possibly only) spelling of "vectorize". Everything but a few hyperop
issues appears to be close to final, by my count: if/when Larry sticks
a fork() in it, it's done.
hyperoperators:
«op» - When used with any unary or
13 matches
