Feature overview matrix for Raku compilers

This is an attempt to collect an overview of implemented features in

contemporary Raku compilers.

It powers the web page http://raku.org/compilers/features .

The idea is to have a concise and easy-to-write source file which contains the

data, and a script that converts this information into a format that is easy

to read, like a colored HTML table or so.

A first version of that script is process.pl, which needs perl 5.10 or

newer and HTML::Template::Compiled from CPAN. It writes the xhtml output

to standard output, or to the filename specified on the command line.

A feature should appear in the table if any of the following applies:

 * it is very useful to the end user

 * it is a distinguished Raku feature (e.g. grammars, junctions)

 * it is hard to implement

 * it showcases differences between compilers

 * its implementation drives spec development

The "forgiveness > permission" principle applies, and the authors are

very forgiving.
