macro circumfix:(*...*) () is parsed(/.*?/ { "" }

is the second enclosing part of the "parsed" parentheses omitted
by intention? If not, I'd volunteer to provide a patch.

interpolated with a special C< ... > marker, which is considered part
of the name:

[Update: That's now solved by use of existing slice syntax:

- macro circumfix:<(* *)> () is parsed(/.*?/ { "" }
- macro circumfix:{'(*', '*)'} () is parsed(/.*?/ { "" }
+ macro circumfix:<(* *)> () is parsed(/.*?/) { "" }
+ macro circumfix:{'(*', '*)'} () is parsed(/.*?/) { "" }

That's so convenient that we'll discard the special rule about
splitting symmetrically in favor of requiring a two element slice.]
