That said, does ^2x500 really do something meaningful that a person
would ever need?  I like the

	^{:nth(3)/foo}

syntax because perl6 supports m:nth(3)/foo/, suggesting a menu of
already-defined modifiers to implement when they prove useful, known
already to a certain subset of the audience and proven useful already
in a different context.
