Oh you are talking about SymbolSwearing?
Took me a while, other cultures have less problems with the Seven_Dirty_Words.
But under the assumption that they shouldn't be used as identifiers in source code, they'd form excellent free replacements for punctuation (well at least the one-syllable ones).
That would prevent name space pollution!
In other words: say
- "s#!t"¹ => $
but
- "dollar" => dollar
such that
- "s#!t dollar" => $dollar
and so on.
so @{ $job->( "name" ) }
would be something like
BUT I'm not confident about the encoding, cause I'm no native swearer! :-(
Could you please help me?
