Those are all lists of pairs, here's another way to write it
my %h5 = :ha<1>, :ho<2>, :hum<3>;
And even a list-of-things works as a hash initializer
my %h6 = 'ha', 1, 'ho', 2, 'hum', 3; # no pairs
say %h6<ho>; #2
as for the main point, interesting! I have the same question about
slurpy-named parameters now...
