TimToady had not seen this thread otherwise he would have advertised that was a no-brainer in Perl6. I asked him but could not find that thread again. Hopefully I crossed again it in "best nodes" So from the mouth of the horse^Wcamel and some other #perl6 usual suspects: 
Feb 23 00:05:33 <cognominal>    recently in perlmonks someone wanted a
+ qw() that supported comments, is there an idiom for that in perl6?
Feb 23 00:06:02 <Juerd>    cognominal: <<>>, IIRC
Feb 23 00:06:43 <cognominal>    I was surprised not to see TimToady pu
+shing a Perl6 solution :)
Feb 23 00:07:10 <TimToady>    cognominal: I don't think we actually sa
+id anything about comments, but considering that it's "shell quoting"
+, and shells have comments, they could sneak in there...
Feb 23 00:07:12 <Juerd>    It could still happen
Feb 23 00:07:45 <Juerd>    TimToady: But let's not have \\\n :)
Feb 23 00:07:55 <TimToady>    Didn't see that PM thread...
Feb 23 00:08:03 <audreyt>    shells have line-terminated comments
Feb 23 00:08:13 <Juerd>    audreyt: That was implied :)
Feb 23 00:08:21 <TimToady>    So put line breaks in.
Feb 23 00:08:36 *    audreyt purrs randomly
Feb 23 00:09:51 <audreyt>    my @x = <<
Feb 23 00:09:59 <audreyt>        This is some splitted words # but not
+ this
Feb 23 00:10:05 <audreyt>        and this too # but not this
Feb 23 00:10:07 <audreyt>    >>;
