Yes, I know. And it is human readable too. It is one of the
many reasons I adore Perl 6.
Where in
multi method words(Str:D $input: $limit = Inf --> Positional)
does it state that "words" will do that? Not all methods will.
So it need to be stated when they will.

Hi Curt,
Perfect! Thank you!
So all methods that respond with --> Positional will accept []
Awesome!

I do believe the reason I spaced on this was that when I see "-->"
what goes through my head is "this is the value(s) returned".
I had not idea it would reflect backwards and affect the method.
There should be a better way of stating this.
