yes. I imagine :n would be used in debugging code, where you don't
really need it for the general meaning of the passage.
$items[$_:n] # curlies only are required for interpolation
I didn't say it so many words, but an example of how to _access_ an
attribute inside interpolation -- that is what I was getting at too;

it's not a member, but an attribute, thus the colon. The curlies are
only needed because we're inside double-quotes in my example.
