	Hey, I've been trying to figure out if they're planning meta-operators 
in perl6.  By "Meta-operators", I mean what APL calls "operators" (since what 
it calls functions are what we call operators).  

	You seem like someone who might know, or at least know where to find 
out.  Do you happen to know?  

	Thanks!
