You're reading this wrong. A regex is like a sub, so your final example
is saying something more like:
say rx { $_ } for <A B C>
The regex itself is created (once) at compile time. It is then
evaluated three times as part of the for loop.
An analogous example would be something like:
say sub { $_ } for <A B C>
