I presume this only works here because <alpha> is one character... if instead
of <alpha> I used anything more complicated
(for example)
token name
{
<[A..Z]><alpha>*
}
And then tried to do ^ [ <!abc> <name> ]* $
This wouldn't work since there's a wildcard within name.
Once the & operator is in rakudo, though... I gather I /could/ do something
like the following
^ [ <!abc>* & <name> ] $
And this would in effect ensued that the sequence "abc" doesn't exist anywhere
across the match for <name>
Is this correct?
