Yes, wrongly:
08:48 < moritz_> rakudo: say (^(3,3)).perl
08:48 < p6eval> rakudo 33212: OUTPUT[[0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2]]
08:51 < moritz_> rakudo: say (^(10,3)).perl
08:51 < p6eval> rakudo 33212: OUTPUT[[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0,
1, 2]]
It counts up first the first index, then the second.
I see how the specced makes sense for a List of Ints, but not for any
other list - any ideas from the design team?
