(Operators) postcircumfix < >
Shortcut for postcircumfix { }
that quotes its argument using the same rules as the quote-words operator of the same name.
my = kiwi => "green", banana => "yellow", cherry => "red";say <banana>; # OUTPUT: «yellow»say <cherry kiwi>.perl; # OUTPUT: «("red", "green")»say <strawberry>:exists; # OUTPUT: «False»
