Shouldn't that be like this?

(=<>)[0..9]».print

    It might be clearer to write it that way, and it emphasizes that you're printing each element individually, but the other probably works as well, if we assume that most of the builtin types including the aggregate types respond to .print.

    I have just found the description of the construct you refer to in S12, and I like it pretty much. For those monks, who, just like me, quickly get tired of the overdose of Perl 6 that comes with a Synopsis, I copy the relevant part here verbatim:

    Parallel dispatch

    Any of the method call forms may be turned into a hyperoperator by treating the method call as a postfix: 

        @object».meth(@args)   # calls one method on each
    @object».?meth(@args)  # calls method if there is one on each
    @object».*meth(@args)  # calls all methods (0 or more) on each
    @object».+meth(@args)  # calls all methods (1 or more) on each
    @object».=meth(@args)  # calls mutator method on each
    @object».:meth(@args)  # calls private method on each

    Pretty nice, I think. Is there any other programming language that allows anything similar to Perl 6 parallel dispatch?
