Before anyone nitpicks, I meant to say on that line:

If you apply an assignment operator to a protoobject, it is assumed that
you are implementing some kind of notional reduction to an accumulator

That is:
my ($x, $y);
say $x * $y; # prints 1
say $x + $y; # prints 0
It is a cleaver idea to make the operator choose an appropriate
value for a Nothing value. Why having that only for meta

Actually, that one might not work, since we can't find the length of
@seq without knowing how many value the closure will generate. The
implicit version would not have that problem.

Is there a way for the continuing function to access its index as well
as, or instead of, the values of one or more preceding terms? And/or
to access elements by counting forward from the start rather than
