In non-term, it's not a sigil. There cannot be two subsequent terms.
This is why it makes no sense to want sigils to be free in infix/op
position, and why % and ^ would work well (without ambiguity) as sigils.

open paren: grouping. The paren is the glyph, not its function.
Also, for the subcall to work, it's not all possible infix/op, but only
postix with no whitespace in between. Same for other .[] where [] is any
set of brackets, and the dot is implied.

But that isn't necessary. It's not as if % used in two ways is new, and
was already overstepping a boundary. It's perfectly normal to have one
glyph do very different things according to how/where it's used.
