I just went through all of the synopses searching for instances where
[-1] is still being referenced in its perl5 sense; the following
patches update them to correct perl6 syntax. I also took the liberty
of fixing up a markup glitch in S03.pod.

it looks like the patch did not make it to the list, so here it is inline

"-" x -1 should evaluate to an empty string and 0 xx -1 should
evaluate to an empty list. I have hacked pugs/src/Pugs/Prim.hs to

in a bad place. I have also
In my mind
perl -le 'print join "\n", map { "[" . 0 x $_ . "]" } -1 .. 1'
and
pugs -e 'say join "\n", map { "[{ 0 x $_}]" }, -1 .. 1'
