I haven't gotten deep into the shape/array specs and I need to... nonetheless

I don't see why we shouldn't use the capture shape

I don't see why shape(2;*) is not a problem and shape(*;2) is a

Array.new(:shape) or something like :shape(2;2), and
that it's not yet implemented in Rakudo.
Is anonymous multidimensional array creation cove
