Colon as dot dot

[philiprbrenan]

Might it be feasible to use : as well as .. to represent a range as shown below given that at the moment the use of : is a syntax error?

my @i = 1..10;

my @j = 1:10; # syntax error

Similarly, since 1 ] 10 is currently a syntax error, couldn't we use ] to mean string concatenation, like .?
