Indeed... Though what I'm wondering is, is there a hidden implementation cost or design cost of making /<foo>+/ always behave such that $<foo>.from returns something, compared to the current treatment with the workaround you suggested?
Has this been settled or addressed off-list? Because from my perspective as one who has never used P6 rules for anything in particular, but who in the future most likely will, the proposed semantics seems a lot saner and more useful. It'd be sad to let pass this opportunity to fix (what from my perspective appears to be) a shortcoming of the rule semantics. Kindly, -- masak
