This will probably be used most as 0..., in foreaches: 
  for zip(@foos, 0...) -> $foo, $i {
      # Here, $foo is an element of @foo
      # and $i is its index.
  }

This would be better written using an array's "kv" method: 

for @foos.kv -> $i, $foo {
  # $i = index; $foo = value
}

I think my biggest concern is with the split-vertical-bar operator: strange syntax is most confusing when its only rarely used. "zip" is only 3 chars, and I don't see the huffman benefit of using a single unicode char (which probably requires 3 keystrokes to type, and multiple double-takes to distinguish from a non-split-vertical-bar).
