Agreed, so we are both proponents of "preserving"-qqw.

The only residual question I have is, what does this do:
@x = ('word','word with space');
@z = qqw( @x not-touching @{x}touching );
I assume that the "most obvious" thing would be this to compile the same as:
@z = (
"@x",
"not-touching",
"@{x}touching",
);
