You mean, like:
(@foo,@bar,@zap) := part { when /foo/ {0}; when /bar/ {1}; when /zap/ {2} } @source;
???
And there's always:
push (/foo/ && @foo || /bar/ && @bar || /zap/ && @zap), $_ for @source;
But perhaps there would also be a hashed form, in which each key is a test
(i.e. a rule or closure) and each value an index:
(@foo,@bar,@zap) := part { /foo/ => 0, /bar/ => 1, /zap/ => 2 }, @source;
or even a arrayed form, when the corresponding index was implicit:
(@foo,@bar,@zap) := part [/foo/, /bar/, /zap/], @source;
