things like:
[ <ident> & <ascii>+ ]
Now I'm supposing that & binds tighter than | as usual, so the brackets wouldn't always be necessary:
<ident> & <french>+
| <ident> & <swahili>+
FWIW, I'm strongly in favour of adding & to rules.
Indeed, if Larry were to give the word, I'd be delighted to add support for it to the Perl6::Rules module.
