I would have expected an output of just `(Seq)` in both cases, or at
least in the second case.
The synopses don't seem to make a statement on whether a `List` or
`Seq` should be returned, but S04 is quite clear that both should be
lazy <https://design.perl6.org/S04.html#line_688>:
lazy loops can be indicated by putting the loop in parens
or brackets:
(... if COND for LIST) # lazy list comprehension
[for LIST { ... }]
(loop { ... })
or by use of either a statement prefix or a phaser in
statement form:
lazy for LIST { ... }
ENTER for LIST { ... }
According to bisectable and committable
<https://gist.github.com/dd0b5601f4198d88bbfd8dc746d7eb25>, Rakudo has
always done it like it does now, though.
