That's what I get for dkimming instead of reading.  Or even skimming.

OK, so "Capture objects fill the ecological niche of references in
Perl 6."  Got it.  Perhaps we should also mention the use of Captures
to prevent list flattening somewhere in S09.

So now we have | as the "all of the above" dereferencer. I like the
mnemonic association with junctions, since |$x is logically similar to
($$x|@$x|%$x).

I dislike adding yet more whitespace-resolved ambiguity to the grammar, though.
