That's good to know. I did find DESTROY mentioned (in a parenthetical
comment) in http://design.perl6.org/S12.html, which also describes
what .?, .*, .+ do, without describing how they are useful in the way
this email thread does. The synopses are programmer reference docs,
good at saying "what," I need to browse through
http://perl6.org/documentation/ for "user docs" showing "why"... and
something like your example would be good in a user doc.
