I don't think we can delete perlitics from Ruby, for compatibility and
other reasons.  But I'm trying you can live without them by providing
alternatives.  As you noticed, Ruby is not pursuing extreme
simplicity, unlike Python or Scheme.  Nor extreme complexity, of
cource, unlike Perl.  It's the matter of balance.
