Attached is my use case which is parsing of PDF cross reference indices.
There are normally three numeric entries per line. e.g.
xref
0 8
00 65535 f
09 0 n
74 0 n
000120 0 n
Which populates nicely into an array of 'n' lines of shape 3.

Well, what do you mean? Of course you can't put anything into it, and any
attempt to index it will throw. It may seem useless, however, if you can have
an empty array, why can't you have a shaped empty array?

This is OK:
% perl6 -e'my $size = 2; my @xref[$size,3] = ([1,2,3], [4,5,6]); say
