Perl 5.6 'feature list'

Not all that exciting, but good to know what they're doing:

It is good to know, and I didn't, so thanks for passing that on! I see
they're finally stealing Python's version numbering scheme <wink>.

In other news, I just noticed that REBOL threw 1st-class continuations *out*
of the language, leaving just the "escape up the current call chain"
exception-handling (throw/catch) kind. This isn't an open project, so it's
hard to second-guess why. Or easy, depending on how you look at it <wink>.

well, "unicode all the way down" and "language
level event loop" sounds pretty exciting to me...

(but christian's work beats it all, of course...)
