Either way, shouldn't we be aiming to match the syntax to the semantics
in a way that's consistent with Perl 6? In other words require "is copy":
sub square ($num is copy) : method {
(or method square ($num is copy) { )
I think if we don't we'll be regretting it in a few years when perl5 and
perl6 are coexisting and perl6 will be running perl5 code. People will
be getting mighty confused.
Tim.
