There is also another issue with qw - force it to treat commas as intended
token
Alternative: why not using already established pattern of modifiers?
arrayref: qw[ foo ]r
hashref: qw{ foo }r (though I will not include this at all)
interpolate: qw[ foo $i ]i
$a = qz:d[ a b c ]; # 'd' says delimiter determines type, arrayref

as long as IDENTIFIER COLON pattern is used for labels, these examples will
match differently (ie, whitespace will become significant)
qz :d(1)
qz: d(1)
qz:d(1)
so would you also prohibit qz as label?
