NAME

Pretty::Topic - Alias $_ topical variable to something prettier

SYNOPSIS

use Pretty::Topic '♥';

say ^4 .map: { $_ + 10 }; # fugly
say ^4 .map: { ♥  + 10 }; # purty!

given <meow woof>.pick  {
    when ♥ ~~ /meo/ { say 'Tis a kitty!' }
    when ♥ ~~ /oof/ { say 'Tis a doggy!' }
}

Multi-char alias is fine too:

use Pretty::Topic 'TOPIC-VAR';

say ^4 .map: { TOPIC-VAR + 10 };

DESCRIPTION

This module aliases the $_ topical variable to a string you provide on the use line, allowing you to avoid the eyesore the $_ is.

EXPORTS

This module exports the string you provide on the use line as a &term:<>.

LIMITATIONS

The current implementation doesn't let you use < or > in topic's name. Open an Issue if you really really need that feature.
