Wouldn't it be nice if there was some idiom (say, a magical hash...) that would allow me to say:

%hash = (
  HELP => sub { ... },
  '?' => $_{HELP},
  QUIT => sub { ... },
  EXIT => $_{QUIT},
  LEAVE => $_{QUIT},
);
[download]

Instead of

%hash = (
  HELP => sub { ... },
  QUIT => sub { ... },
);
$hash{'?'} = $hash{HELP};
$hash{EXIT} = $hash{LEAVE} = $hash{QUIT};
[download]

$_="goto+F.print+chop;\n=yhpaj";F1:eval
