He means right to left as in languages which are written starting
at the right of the page and moving left instead of the other way
round. Hebrew being the example Roman was interested in.

VAX is either big or little. I can't remember which off the top
of my head.
You may be getting confused here with the middle-endian system
used by the PDP machines which goes 3412 or something rather than
the 1234 or 4321 that most machine
much the same. It also means you can sort the
dates to whatever accuracy you want by comparing each of the
first n elements in turn for some value of n defined bu the
accuracy you want.

It may not be helping that a list of the 5 keys is implicitly
constructed by that syntax. If we get iterator support in perl6 then
that should hopefully make it somewhat more eff
default (I am asuming here)
Currently... I thought one idea for perl6 was to make more things
use iterators instead of creating large temporary lists.

vid raises are serious ones that must be addressed by
any solution.
I realise that much of this is really about internals so I will
ask that any followups which relate to implementation rather than
syntax changes need to support this go to the internals list rather
than the language list.

people are really after is efficient
implementations of these sort of primitives and so long as perl6
has support for things like fast XSUBs and iterators an efficient
implementation of things like zip and reduce could probably be done
as part of the standard library rather than in the core engine

I would have thought the obvious way to handle a sorted map would
be to keep it as a balanced tree instead of a hash internally - that
way you don't need to keep sorting it when you access it.
Of course it does make key acc
he new keyword C.
I think I've actually come up with a way to solve your problem
of modifying the hash during the iteration so that I can make my
implicit iterator strategy work again... I'm planning to write it
up as an internals RFC over the weekend.

I think you mean Gregorian, not Julian. If that's going to be your
requirement then you need to pick a date in the 20th century I think
as IIRC Russia didn't go Gregorian until then...

As far as I can tell reset %x currently tries to reset any

OK so you can manage it if you diddle with the symbol table...

See RFC 136 for some thoughts on how this issue can be resolved when
multiple iterators are needed.
