IIRC this is the same as $$x, right?

How about $x.() here? That looks symmetric to the other postfix operators and should be regarded as a method dispatched on the invocant or some such. > $x.[] # the Capture object's positional parameters, as a list. > $x.{} # the Capture object's named parameters, as a hash.
