Yes I did read the original thread.

And although from time to time I have been "thumbs-up" for adding
punctuation soup into Ruby, I'm learning and growing into the fact that it'=
s
not the ruby way.

I was simply trying to suggest something that felt more ruby to me.

adding <blah> syntax ( or anything directly from Perl ) just continues to
feed where most of the complaints I've ever heard about ruby ... It doesn't
need to feel any more perlish than it already does in some places.

The only opinion that matters to me is Matz. If he likes it, I'm sure I'll
get used to it, otherwise, bleck, I'll pass.
