Since providing embedded SQL support would involve changes to the guts of
perl anyway, maybe we should be thinking a bit more flexibly than a new
quoting operator. Instead of qs() (which would be kind of cool) maybe we
should consider enhancing formats to allow attributes. Formats need some
major overhaul *anyway*, so why not go and do it all in one swoop?
Something like:
format QUERY : sql =
select foo, bar
into $foo, $bar
where baz = $xyzzy;
.
and enhance prototypes and maybe add something that indicates a format. (.
or F or something)
