Whatever else is going on, we do already have C<\LIST> for that:
DB<1> x \(1,2,3)
0 SCALAR(0x96fab88)
-> 1
1 SCALAR(0x96fa7c8)
-> 2
2 SCALAR(0x96fa948)
-> 3
In not necessarily unrelated news, the Perl 6 design is as always worth
considering. Last I checked, the RHS of Perl 6's := had to be a "capture",
which has the syntax C<\LIST>. Coincidence ... or Conspiracy?!
More on this later.
