Indeed, one could characterize the entire Perl 6 effort as trying to lower the cost of the hard things without raising the cost of the easy things. If some of those hard things actually get to the point of being easy things, all the better.
Though there are, in fact, a few easy things that ought to be harder. As pointed out in another note, Perl has unabashedly borrowed good features wherever it found them. With Perl 6 we're also unabashedly "unborrowing" some of the bad features that snuck in with the good.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
