As of parrot rev 32120, PGE only supports the old S05 closure syntax
that had double curlies like so
/foo {{ say "matched foo" }}/
The current S05 says this is legal:
/foo { say "matched foo" }/
This was discussed on perl6.users at:
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.users/2008/10/msg826.html
The attached patch allows one to use either single or double curlies
(or triple, etc, actually). I added disambiguation for the "{*}"
token which is now a special case of "{...}". Perhaps that latter
bit was over-engineering, but I don't grok the optable yet well
enough to understand how it disambiguates on its own.
In the future, I think we should consider deprecating the extraneous
curlies, at least for PIR closures.
