=item Sub.get_name_space()

The Sub PMC method get_name_space is being replaced with get_namespace to
reflect the internal change from name_space to the one-word namespace.

=head1 FUTURE changes

Not yet deprecated, but it's recommended to use the new syxtax and
gradually change the old.

=item Chip's colon

Subroutine attributes will use the colon syntax:

  .sub foo method, @MULTI(x,y)    => .sub foo :method :multi(x,y)
  .sub foo @ANON, @LOAD           => .sub foo :anon :load

The new syntax uses no comma separators and all sub attributes are lower
case and prefixed by a colon.

=item Class name IDs

... will require a dot in front

  $P0 = new Integer               => $P0 = new .Integer

=item Assignment syntax with opcodes [#36283]

When the first argument of an opcode is C<OUT>, then the assignment syntax
will be allowed, as it is today.

In any other case (i.e. C<INOUT>, C<IN>), this will become
a syntax error. For example:

	$S0 = print
	$P0 = substr 1, 2, "x"

Will have to be:

	print $S0
	substr $P0, 1, 2, "x"
