Which is a bit odd, insofar as <null> gets captured by that rule...

Speaking of "at the moment", I just now updated the Synopses at
dev.perl.org.  The juiciest new bits are probably in S2, though there
are ramifications in any Synopsis marked as having been updated Dec 2.
Anonymous enums are kinda cool now:

    %mo = enum «:Jan(1) Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec»;

(The Apocalypses aren't updated yet. Tomorrow maybe, unless I get sucked
back into my little pet p5-to-p6 translator project.)
