I think I found a Synopsis fossil, in light of revision 29931, but wanted to be
sure ...

New Revision: 29931
Modified:
docs/Perl6/Spec/S02-bits.pod
Log:
[S02] remove 1/2 and +2-3i literal forms, now rely on angle dwimmery for
literals,
or constant folding otherwise.
<snip>
Complex literals are similarly indicated by writing an addition or subtraction
of
-two real numbers without spaces:
+two real numbers (again, without spaces around the operators) inside angles:
- 5.2+1e42i
- 3-1i
+ <5.2+1e42i>
+ < -3-1i >
As with rational literals, constant folding would produce the same
complex number, but this form parses as a single term, ignoring
surrounding precedence.
<snip>
Basically, I found this line in Synopsis 2, in the section talking about
unspace:
1+3\ i;
So the question is about whether this example should be kept as still valid code
or whether it is now invalid and a fossil?
I suspect it *is* still valid, at least if this by itself:
3i
... is a valid literal denoting <0+3i>, but wanted to check.
