In what way don't they work? Can you send me a small example?
Or perhaps just try this one:

Not easily. You could use:
=config C<> :allow<E>
The C<=E<gt>> operator
but that's hardly an improvement. :-(

It certainly is. I suppose we could consider adopting the newer Perl 6
convention that generally allows *any* kind of balanced and/or repeated
delimiter (as in comments and delimited strings now). In which case you
could write:
The C{=>} operator
But I'm nervous about allowing that, as it suddenly makes a lot more
ordinary text magical. Perhaps as a compromise, we could say that only
<...> and «...» can be used as single brackets, but that two-or-more
brackets can be of any balanced kind. Which gives us:
The C{{=>}} operator
...which seems a reasonable compromise.
What do you think?
