There's really only one sigil in there that isn't in C++ (the ' single-quote to name lifetimes and labels). And it's missing several ambiguities that plague older C++ grammars (i.e. is >> a greater than, or closing two template expressions?)

I thought it was a pointer-dereference signifier(, or maybe an object-string-stream thingy)? If you mean C++, that is.
