In answer to this, Larry put something in the spec that says that @F
is replaced with @_
Now I'm happy :).

I would suggest to rename that to Event (since unlike Perl 5 that name
is still available in Perl 6).

I think the use of % for the modulus operator is too deeply ingrained

Surely the interpretation of the index should be up to each array-type?
