Perhaps I am missing something, but in any case I'm confused.

TheDamian mentions in section What you match is what you get that there is a "result object" automatically created and stored in $0, which looks handy enough. He then goes on to talk about using $0 in both an array and hash context, so I assume that there's some kind of internal magic going on in the regex (grammar) engine. Sounds good so far.

But where I get confused is: he talks of array elements as $0[1], $0[2] etc. and hash elements as $0{out_marker} and so on. But I thought that in Perl 6 the variable sigils were immutable, so shouldn't that be e.g. @0[1] and %0{out_marker}??

If it's just a typo, well let's just say I'm in no position to criticize ;), but if not I would appreciate enlightenment... thanks!
