Currently Rakudo has difficulty parsing pointy blocks in term position
-- it gets confused by the leading hyphen and thinks it's a prefix:<->.
(For a variety of reasons, terms aren't currently participating in
PGE's form of longest token matching.)
I'll see if I can fix this in the very near future.
