Re: [FWP] Fun with terminology

[Peter Scott <Peter@PSDT.com>]

Incidentally, can someone explain to me why perlop uses the term 'prefix' 
here:

      Here is what C has that Perl doesn't:

      unary * Dereference-address operator. (Perl's prefix
              dereferencing operators are typed: $, @, %, and &.)

instead of 'unary'?  It seems to me that the Perl dereferencing operators 
are just as unary as C's *, so I'm wondering why the mix of terminology in 
the same paragraph.
