How about...?
sub odd { ^$a % 2 }
say grep &odd, 0..6;
This gets us to within one character of the p5 version. I think
we also have the possibility of
subset odd where { $_ % 2 }
say grep odd, 0..6;
which is the same length as the p5 version, but afaict this
last one doesn't seem to be working in Rakudo yet.
