Does Perl 6 use $a and $b in sorting?

Because of the the special significance of $a and $b in Perl 5's sort comparison, I always avoid using the names in examples, lest it set a booby-trap for later. I've noticed "a" and "b' being used in some P6 examples. Are they no longer significant, or are they just a poor choice of identifier?

Re: Does Perl 6 use $a and $b in sorting?
