This works:

Code:
say ‘a’.&[leg]: ‘b’

Result:
Less



But this does not:

Code:
say &[leg] ‘a’: ‘b’

Result:
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Confused
at -e:1
------> say &[leg]⏏ ‘a’: ‘b’
    expecting any of:
        infix
        infix stopper
        postfix
        statement end
        statement modifier
        statement modifier loop



Obviously, this is very important.
