Yes, good point.
In the docs, in the section Regex Interpolation, they don't mention
that feature, presumably because it literally does no interpolation,
but I'd argue that the null case is worth including in this table:
Syntax Description
$variable Interpolates stringified contents of variable literally.
$(code) Runs Raku code inside the regex, and interpolates the
stringified return value literally.
<$variable> Interpolates stringified contents of variable as a regex.
<{code}> Runs Raku code inside the regex, and interpolates the
stringified return value as a regex.
Notably, it is included in Table 4-3 in the Moritz Lenz book "Parsing
with Perl 6 Regexes and Grammars":
{ CODE } Runs Perl 6 code; no effect on regex match
