Re: the new raku.org is really beautiful (and tought about spurt)

Greetings, 

I much prefer this syntax:

`~$ raku -e 'my $fh = "ImportantFile_bak".IO;  #create filehandle \
           "ImportantFile".IO.slurp.subst(:global, "Hello ", "Hi ") andthen spurt($fh,  $_,  :createonly);' `

It has a nice left-to-right feel and keeps you from clobbering an `ImportantFile`.

( Once you're sure of your code/filehandles, clobber-away by deleting `:createonly` ).

HTH, 

Bill.

PS  If `Str` had a `spurt` method, wouldn't you be in constant fear of a sensitive string literal (e.g. a password) being accidentally written to disk?
