was there ever a moment in history where they changed perl, then you either liked it, or got used to it, then they reverted the change, and now you reminisce about what iffs? what iff i could use that ex-feature `say"?now"`? (in the relative sense, because the absolute sense is also relative in accordance with the relative state formulation of quantum mechanics; this causes a paradoxical conundrum in temporal mechanics, and linguistic communication, to name an interdisciplinary couple) preparing for perl 7 was re preparing for def-alt (definitively alternate) defaults (unfaulted)

now i want a context-sensitive supersigil; where a single particular namespace collapses the symbolic waveform, otherwise it's like $ is a superposition between doubles, strings, undef, and whatnot (the next step is entangling variables, and functions; followed by syntax, and semantics; ending in real qubits, where we only know they are programmable matter, not what calculations they compute, but that's where quantum teleportation comes in, where we don't know where it comes from, because it's indistinguishable from the bootstrap paradox, because you need bugs to debug bugs)
