It's allowed at least for Match objects -- from S05:
# The numbered captures may be treated as named,
so $<0 1 2> is equivalent to $/[0,1,2]. This allows
you to write slices of intermixed named and numbered captures.
I agree that it's probably not allowed in the general case of
indexing a List or Array, though. We will probably fix this when
we implement postcircumfix:<{ }> and postcircumfix:<[ ]> as part
of handling list and hash slices.
