Legacy Dereferencing Syntax Used in S05

[Agent Zhang]

Hi, all~~

S05 makes widely use of the syntax @{ $capture } and %{ $capture }
while other synopses remarkably don't.

According to S02, {...} should normall be a closure or a hash
subscript and S02 uses the syntax @( $arrayref ) and %( $hashref )
consistently. Is S05 simply out of sync or is the legacy dereferencing
syntax still valid Perl 6 but not specified explicitly?

BTW, PerlJam on #perl6 also found the uses of @{...} appear vestigial.

Regards,

Agent

Yes, it's vestigial. I'll fix it later today when I apply your patch.
(Or most of your patch. I disagree with a few of the fixes...) Thanks!
