in reply to A "but" operator.
P6 is destined to have a proctologist, though I don't think it has quite the meaning you are looking for.
The example that sticks in my brain is
my $x = 0 but true;
I know I run across other examples in the A|S|Enn, but their significance has been lost in the melee of other new stuff in the same examples. It'll probably click eventually.
