Just wondering: should "given @foo {...}" alias to $_, or @_?

$_.  It will contain the whole list as one item, like what Perl 5 does 
with [EMAIL PROTECTED]


   given @foo {
      when .length > 5 { say "That's a long list" }
      when .length == Inf { say "That's a very long list" }
      when .WHAT ~~ Range { say "That's an iterator" }
      }
