Acme::ESP - The power to implant and extract strings' thoughts.
#!/usr/bin/perl -l
use Acme::ESP;
my $string= "Nice hat.";
# Implant a thought:
$string.oO( "What an ugly hat!" );
print $string; # Prints "Nice hat."
# Read a thought, leaving it in place:
print $string.oO( ); # Prints "What an ugly hat!"
# Read a thought, replacing it:
print $string . o O ( "Did I say that out loud?!" );
# Prints "What an ugly hat!"
# Empty their mind:
print $string.oO( '' );
# Prints "Did I say that out loud?!"
ESP defies description.
Many operations on strings can distract them, removing the implanted thought.
Some platforms are skeptical and interfere with the extraction of stored thoughts.

http://perlmonks.org/?node=Corion appears to have implanted the idea into my brain.
http://perlmonks.org/?node=jZed inspired much of the test suite.
http://perlmonks.org/?node=Anno suggested the support for more drawn-out thoughts.
