according to S02, under 'Literals', generalized quotes may now take
adverbs. in that section is the following comment:

<snip>
[Conjectural: Ordinarily the colon is required on adverbs, but the
"quote" declarator allows you to combine any of the existing adverbial
forms above without an intervening colon:

   quote qw;           # declare a P5-esque qw//
<snip>

there's trouble if both q (:single) and qq (:double) are allowed
together. how would qqq resolve? i say it makes sense that we get
longest-token matching first, which means it translates to :double
followed by :single.
