Except that the Perl5 equivalent, ugly as the syntax may be, works fine:
pop @{[@a,@b,@c]}
It creates an anonymous array, then removes the last element, leaving two
elements in the array - which is irrelevant since the array is
then discarded completely.
I don't see any reason to change this behavior for Perl6.
