I think the toggle operator is a wart that we should lean towards
removing, not something to encourage wider use of.  The context-dependent
behaviour is particularly nasty to handle internally, compared to other
context-dependent operators.

If you like the toggle behaviour, I suggest that you should implement
a cleaner version of it (certainly including explicit operations on
named toggles) on CPAN.
