As I have pointed out in other posts, I certainly don't expect us to incorporate more than (in Leon's evocative phraseology) "half-arsed" junctions. ;-) I particularly don't expect the magical distributive subroutine dispatch semantics of Perl 6. Though I *do* think basic arithmetic ought to be supported. In any case, assuming Perl6::Junctions is in fact borged into the core (which I sincerely hope it *will* be, to make up for dumping array and hash smartmatching), then you can certainly expect patches from me to supply at least the missing arithmetic operators..the addition of which shouldn't affect performance in any way, I hope.
