So, just to be clear, does that mean that the following holds:
# assume no surrounding grammar-context
rule foo { ... } # compile-time error, no grammar
my $ar = rule { ... } # compile-time error, no grammar
grammar Foo;
rule bar { ... } # legal, Foo::bar rule
my $ar = rule { ... } # legal, Foo::ANON rule
# assume no surrounding grammar-context
rule Foo::bar { ... } # legal, Foo::bar rule
my $ar = grammar Foo { rule { ... } } # legal, Foo::ANON rule
And the way to get a grammarless rule is to use either rx or regex with
the appropriate modifiers.
