Gotcha. Perhaps something like perl6 -DOC is needed to execute DOC
blocks in the file passed on the command line and files it use's,
whereas perl6 -doc only processes DOC blocks in the Setting or its

Hey,
Just joined the list, and I too have been thinking about a good path literal

Not knowing where to start in this long thread, I will instead try to show how

Could we also get "=numbered" and "=term" directives that are
equivalent to "=item :numbered" and "=item :term", respectively, for
use with abbreviated blocks? E.g.:
=numbered First Item
=numbered Second Item
=numbered Third Item
=term First Name
