+Even if you have a C<sub q{}>, calling C<q()> will be parsed as the
+C<q()> operator. Calling C<&q()> or C<main::q()> gets you the function.
+This test verifies this behavior for nine different operators.

+ <kane-xs> bug or feature?
+ <purl> You decide!!!!
+ <kane-xs> [kane@coke ~]$ perlc -le'sub y{1};y(1)'
+ <kane-xs> Transliteration replacement not terminated at -e line 1.
+ <Nicholas> bug I think
+ <kane-xs> i'll perlbug
+ <rgs> feature
+ <kane-xs> smiles at rgs
+ <kane-xs> done
+ <rgs> will be closed at not a bug,
+ <rgs> like the previous reports of this one
+ <Nicholas> feature being first class and second class keywords?
+ <rgs> you have similar ones with q, qq, qr, qx, tr, s and m
+ <rgs> one could say 1st class keywords, yes
+ <rgs> and I forgot qw
+ <kane-xs> hmm silly...
+ <Nicholas> it's acutally operators, isn't it?
+ <Nicholas> as in you can't call a subroutine with the same name as an
+ operator unless you have the & ?
+ <kane-xs> or fqpn (fully qualified package name)
+ <kane-xs> main::y() works just fine
+ <kane-xs> as does &y; but not y()
+ <Andy> If that's a feature, then let's write a test that it continues
+ to work like that.
