Would it make sense to use action methods (the "{*}" tokens) for the
closures instead of embedding them directly into the grammar?

Certainly, yes, but my goal was to learn, not to be productive. :-)
The "{*}" notation is not part of S05, so I thought I'd try to see
what was possible with real Perl6 and embedded closures. I did
indeed learn a lot!
But since you've said that PGE is getting an overhaul, I'll stow my
patches and wait.
