+ This is a test to see if I can do not only `$self' and `method()', but
+ also `$self->method()' and `$self->{FIELDNAME}' and `$Foo <=> $Bar'
+ without resorting to escape sequences. If I want to refer to the
+ right-shift operator I can do something like `$x >> 3' or even `$y >>
+ 5'.
+
+ Now for the grand finale of `$self->method()->{FIELDNAME} = {FOO=>BAR}'.
+ And I also want to make sure that newlines work like this
+ `$self->{FOOBAR} >> 3 and [$b => $a]->[$a <=> $b]'
+
+ Of course I should still be able to do all this *with* escape sequences
+ too: `$self->method()' and `$self->{FIELDNAME}' and `{FOO=>BAR}'.
+
+ Dont forget `$self->method()->{FIELDNAME} = {FOO=>BAR}'.
+
+ And make sure that `0' works too!
+
+ Now, if I use << or >> as my delimiters, then I have to use whitespace.
+ So things like `<$self-'method()>> and `<$self-'{FIELDNAME}>> wont end
+ up doing what you might expect since the first > will still terminate
+ the first < seen.
