So let me get this straight...

   %hash = (foo => 42, bar => 13);
   print "%hash";

should come out to:

   foo 42
   bar 13

The idea of interpolating a hash is cool... but is seperating each
pair by $/ really useful?  A comma or $" sees to make more sense.

Could you show some examples of practical usage?

Plus I remember being impressed with Ada because you could write an
infinite loop without a faked up condition.  The idea being that in Ada
the typical infinite loop would be normally be terminated by detonation.
