It seems to be consistently stupid. This bites other postfix operators as well. Take the example at the end of chapter 4.

sub postfix:<Factorial>($n) {
   [*] 1..$n
}
say 5Factorial; # 120

You can't put a space between 5 and Factorial. (You can put a backslash and then a space, if you want.)

The part that amuses me is that this is prefaced by the statement:
