We've already suffered enough from the problems of qr/.../'s trailing
modifier syntax:
qr/ Does this end on this line? # /
or on this line? /x
That's why Perl 6 moves the modifiers to the beginning. ( qr:x/.../ )
qw//x has the same problems:
qw/ Does this end on this line? # /
or on this line? /x
and once again you don't know where the construction ends.
So if we're going to go down this route, let's at least not screw it
up the same way we screwed up before, please.
