Ah. So every part of a Capture Object has an alternate call syntax:
act $foo, @list, bar => 'baz';
is the same as
@list ==> $foo.act:bar('baz');
right?
(And if this is the case, the one capability that the adverb notation
provides that the more traditional named parameter notation doesn't
have is a way to let a particular key to exist without being defined.)
