    Hi Curt,

    Maybe I am blind, but I can only find

    postcircumfix [ ]
    https://docs.perl6.org/language/operators#postcircumfix_[_]

Here's the list cut/pasted from directly at the link I posted:

Operators can occur in several positions relative to a term:

+term   prefix
term1 + term2   infix
term++  postfix
(term)  circumfix
term1[term2]    postcircumfix

From that, you can see that postfix things go behind a single term while postcircumfix things go behind 1 term, and around another term.

One example on that page of a postcircumfix operator is the [] you linked to.



Hi Curt,

Thank you!

Larry removed the rest of the fuzz from my thinking.
