That'd probably work on the keys only if the hash was declared to

I'm not seeing it as another way. Technically, of course it is
different, but by the user, - and - will probably be seen as one
thing, with one of them

I like that arguments will be readonly by default. But when I look at my
current code, I see that I would be typing is rw quite a lot, which in
my opinion is too long for a thing that occurs very often.
Every such situation in my code is a foreach loop. A thing that in Perl
6 will mostly be used

It's vaguely possible I could be persuaded on the basis that

Yes, a typo. Though it's not actually clear yet whether you have to
write zips args with semicolons, which is why I partially switched
to ¥ in midthink.
Just checking. I wondered if you'd introduced a new feature midthink
