This is OK:

% perl6 -e'my $size = 2; my @xref[$size,3] = ([1,2,3], [4,5,6]); say @xref'

[[1 2 3] [4 5 6]]

But this isn't:

% perl6 -e'my $size = 0; my @xref[$size,3] = (); say @xref'

Illegal dimension in shape: 0. All dimensions must be integers bigger than
0
 in block <unit> at -e line 1

% perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2017.08 built on MoarVM version 2017.08.1
implementing Perl 6.c.

Just seems an unreasonable restriction that the major shape size of an
array can't be zero.
