grammar rules in perl six

larry wall says:

In Perl 6 we actually give the programmer control over the individual grammar rules and even sub-rules, so that you can replace little bits and pieces of the grammar.

oh neat, still write-only, but more so.

[right, a cheap shot. i think this special perl6 innovation makes pereira and warren's relatively sane prolog definite clause grammars (DCG) about 25 years ahead of its time. see eg. covington, natural language processing for prolog programmers.]
