I personally believe that it's by far too verbose, losing the original attempt at conciseness, but the latter could be recovered by means of of suitable (pseudo? unofficial?r) protocol/scheme (or whatever it's really called like...) so I think that the Perl 6 syntax should really be: `1,-3,-8...oeis://A046970` How's that for self-documenting code? `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.
