Hi,

as Larry mentioned in another thread that he wants a "different notation
for word
splitting" (http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.language/21874),
how about that, similar to Haskell's "words" function:

    # Str::words should return a list of words, without whitespace.
    my $str   = " hi   my name is  ingo  ";
    my @words = words $str;
    say join ",", @words;     # "hi,my,name,is,ingo";


    # The list returned should contain lvalueable objects (idea courtesy
    # of wolverian):
    my $str     = " hi   my name is  ingo  ";
    $str.words .= map:{ ucfirst };
    say $str;                 # " Hi   My Name Is  Ingo  "
    # Note: The whitespace was preserved!


Comments?
