Correction:
sub foo (*$value) { yadda }
might be shorthand for something like:
sub foo () is rw {
return new Proxy:
FETCH => method { return .() },
STORE => method ($val) { .($val) },
postcircumfix:<( )> => method ($value?) { yadda }
}
i.e., it can be called like a regular function as well as via
assignment semantics.
