> It somehow feels cleaner to me, this separation of contexts (contexts in the usual sense of the word, not strictly Perl contexts). I've made the argument that the intended type of an operation is as much a context as the amount (void/scalar/list) context. The relevant Perl 5 literature flirts with that phrasing, but Perl 6 goes much further to extend that metaphor. That has proven very useful in discussions of consistency.
