[PATCH] deprecate ?PATTERN?
Message ID:

In discussing (on #p5p) possible new operators, we ran into the issue
that the obscure ?PATTERN? syntax gets in the way of most uses we could
potentially make of the question mark.  It was proposed that we could
deprecate that syntax to reclaim the question mark.  Attached patch
does so.  It leaves the match-once semantics still available through
m?PATTERN?.
