This will be very handy and more meaningfull to have​:

Can you explain why we should do this -- especially given that '>>' is already spoken-for as a Perl operator?

From pod/perlop.pod​:

Binary ">>" returns the value of its left argument shifted right by the number of bits specified by the right argument. Arguments should be integers.

Thank you very much.

It is often peoples do​:
if( $package->state ~= /^(1,2)$/ ) or some thing similar to test if some value in array.

The '>>' operator is most closer to say 'in'

$value in [ qw/ a r r a y / ]
$value >> [ qw/ a r r a y / ]

If right argument is array ref (list allowed too, maybe) . It will be everything ok and make no ambiguousity into code

What is the value of an operator over the already existing List​::Util​::any
or List​::Util​::first/grep in scalar context?

Which equality operator should be used (eq, ==, =~, ~~, etc.)?

How is an operator associated with bit shifting (Perl and other languages)
or appending to a file (shell redirection) supposed to be "more meaningful"
than ~~?
