Re^3: [Perl 6]: Small discoveries VII, Flattening

Parens don't build lists in Perl6, commas do:

my @a := 1,2;
say @a.^name; #List
my @b := 1,;
say @b.^name; #List

Parens are usually needed because of precedence when embedding the List into another expression. The comma does have another meaning: it's the separator in argument lists.
