I don't want to have to "extract" it. I want to be able to say
$x = foo
and get the single value return from foo, and only dress it up if I
want the optional secondary returns
my ($x, :$named) = foo; # or something like that
That looks to me like a form of positional extraction. (Of course,
my hit rate on p6 stuff has been remarkably low of late...)
