+The range operators are handled specially. They do not curry with
+C<Whatever>-stars, but they do curry with C<WhateverCode>
+
+    say (1..*).WHAT;        # Range
+    say (1..*-1).WHAT;      # WhateverCode
+
+This allow all these constructs to work:
+
+    .say for 1..*;          # infinite loop
+    my @a = 1..4;
+    say @a[1..*];           # 2 3 4
+    say @a[1..*-2];         # 2 3
