$ perl6 -e '(1,2)[0] := 3' [hangs] ^C The attempted operation is not valid, because list structure is immutable. This ought to be detected as an unimplemeted method or in a better way. But a method trying to handle multidimensional indexing picks up the call and ends up delegating to itself in an infinite recursion. I think that method should have a narrower signature so that it only tackles cases that are strictly multidimensional. -zefram
