That looks weird to me.  But as Rod points out, it can be useful with
hashes. 
Yes, that's the primary case I was thinking of.  I was trying to find a 
smaller example.

OTOH, I realize now you can do that with zip in P6, in which case you do 
have a mention of the whole variable to stick a my on -- C<my %foo = 
zip(@keys, @values);>  I think C<my [EMAIL PROTECTED] = @values;> reads better 
though, even though looking at it literally, you're attempting to 
lexicalize an element.
