I suspect that the prototype for '..' is like this:

So the 'step' use of colon may _only_ be used in conjunction with a "ranged" list, e.g. C<..>, correct? In _any_ other context, it means something else.

In looking at A3, I also can't seem to find anything definitive on the allowed operands to C<..>: specifically, if they can be anything but literals, or integers.

Would all of the following therefore be syntax errors?

@a : 2
1 .. $a
1 .. $a : 2
$a .. $b
$a .. $b : 2
$a .. $b : $c
1 .. 10 : $c
2.5 .. 10.0 : 0.5
