Description

Hello, I noticed that perl have the $_ and @_ symbols, both can be accessed like this $_[0] and @_[0].
Can we have $_, $_[, @_, @_[ ligatures? I know that exists the #_ for clojure.

Also, perl 6 has a lot of operators, https://docs.perl6.org/language/operators and https://docs.perl6.org/language/variables
I think it would be nice if some of them were in ligature form, but i don't know if it is possible since a lot have letters . I don't know the language, so I can't help decide if they would be useful or not.

Thanks
