I think the magical "+" isn't going to work.
Has the road of just putting things next to each other been extensively
tried? It works for Awk... "juxtapose", the Famous Invisible Perl
Operator.
Perl 5 Perl 6
$a = $b . $c; $a = $b $c; # or $b$c
$a = "foo".$c; $a = "foo" $c; # or "foo"$c
$a = foo . $c; $a = foo$c; # foo $c wouldn't work...
$a = $c . foo; $a = ${c}foo # (if foo is a function)
$a = foo() . $c; $a = foo() $c;
$a = $c . foo(); $a = $c foo();
$a = $b->c . $d; $a = $b->c $d; # or $b->c$d;
I can see that the indirect objects can be painful
my $fh = open(...);
print $fh $blah;
but maybe we can spread magic thickly enough on filehandles so that
"concat to a filehandle" means output...
