No, the Capture on the right, although a Capture of Captures, will be
flattened in the list context provided by list assignment.
my @table= [1,2,3],[4,5,6];
will give you a Perl5-like array containing arrays for elements.
To give a true multi-dimensional array, you must declare it. Although
the lengths don't have to be fixed, you at least need the number of
dimensions (which could involve ** so the dimensionality could be variable).
my @table[2;3];
I pondered over feeding it another list of items in my APL essay. I
figured an iterator over the 2-D array should visit the elements in
order. So, use that to "reshape" the simple list.
