I have several multi methods.
All of them have the same first statement, then differ depending on the
signature.
proto seems to be a way to factor out the common statement, and there is
a phrase in the Documentation that * can affect the dispatch, viz:
"You can give the |proto| a function b
It looks like you have spaces in the token { * } can you try it without,
using this {*} instead?

After deleting the spaces as suggested, there's a "Positional" too many.
I guess you can rewrite that method declaration as
multi method handle(@s)
or
multi method handle(Positional $s)
and adjust the method's body.

a) I don't understand why the white space matters, but clearly it does.
So the token is '{*}' and not braces around a Whatever-star.
b) Removing the space yields the following response.

Yep. Weird, but it's a special token.

@Gianni - thank you.
That works.
The problem in my original code - after removing the whitespace in { * }
- was to have 'Positional @s' instead of 'Positional $s'. Either '@s' or
'Positional $s' work.
Thanks for the rapid feedback.
