Since "foo" acts like a list of one element, I suspect that .[2..*]
should act the same as when used on an array of one element, which
results in an empty Parcel:
my @array = "foo";
say @array[2..*].elems; # 0
say "foo"[2..*].elems; # 0
If that's wrong, we need better spectests to get the correct
behavior.
