That doesn't work, since () in list context does not enforce scalar context.
It's exactly equivalent to
say zip @odd, @even;
which is also wrong, because zip is requires "multidimentional slice"
syntax. Ordinary commas will be taken to separate items of the first
slice. To separate slices requires semicolon or pipes.

No, but separating the arrays with comma doesn't work either, so Pugs
currently has it wrong. The correct syntax will eventually be:
zip(@odd; @even)
zip @odd <== @even
The parens are required only at the top statement level. Inside other
bracketing structures you can omit the parens:
(zip @odd; @even)
just as in subscripts the semicolon separates multiple dimensions:
