S29 doesn't show a 'sort' method defined on block/closure

I doubt that. And to my eyes it looks funny. Only real block
methods should be useful and since the class is mostly known
at parse time unapplicable methods should be a compile error.
my &f = { $^a <=> $^b }.assuming($^a = 3);
say f(3); # prints 0
Would that be valid? I mean the usuage of automatic variables
in the assuming method?
Note that we already have:
my @s = sort { $^a <=> $^b }, @a;
my @s = @a.sort { $^a <=> $^b };
Is that the adverbial block syntax? If not how
would it look?
my @s = sort @a :{ $^a <=> $^b };
Or with a comma after @a?
