Enjoy the exercise!

For the current state of the design, see:
http://feather.perl6.nl/syn/

Note the embedded tests which are getting run.

Perl 6 is happening.  There's running code.  There's a considerable test suite.  The performance is shaping up.  Even Perl 5 compatibility is being dealt with.  If people don't know this and think its all a wanking exercise... well, that's a PR problem not a code problem.
