Sigil Notation
~x/binary/optionnote:
x must be single alphabetic letter.
The symbol used to identify the sigil is ~ tilde . Here, x can be any letter from a..z A..Z but one has to be careful with predefined sigils like c C s S w W r R .
The binary here is the actual string which is delimited with / however you can use the following as delimiters of binary.
[] () <> // "" '' || {}All the above symbols can be used as the delimiters for any sigil representation. Here, the option act as a modifier for the sigil.
