That's the one. Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback.
Note that this is also a routine declaration:
sub postcircumfix:<[ ]> ($lhs, $inside) { ... }
The term "name" is ambiguous. I guessed you might mean it
generically, so that's why I started with "routine declaration".
But "name" has a more specific meaning in Perl 6 so that's why
I stepped thru to that more specific meaning.
Not that these "names" actually come in short, long and
qualified versions.
`words` is a short name.
`postcircumfix:<[ ]>` is a short name.
There are two ways to make a short name longer.
One is a longname which appends a signature:
`postcircumfix:<[ ]>($, | is raw)` is a longname.
(See also https://docs.perl6.org/syntax/Long%20names)
The other way is to prepend a package qualifier:
`&SETTING::postcircumfix:<[ ]>` is a package qualified name.

Hi Ralph,
Thank you!
I am slowly learning the names and context of these things.
