Mnemonics

"tack"

is just a quote in perl6
can be used to "tack" things onto perl6

Used as a brace pair or quote pair

` has no special meaning and is just a quoting character

Other uses

` is more or less reserved for use by user's private code through overloading/grammar warping

Old, deprecated, or other language uses

` was used to "shell out" in perl5, very tackily. Perl6 does away with that practice.
