I don't quite agree with this table. Please consider the following code.
constant term:<$container> = 1,2,3; say $container, $container.WHAT; # (1 2 3)(List) say "answer: $container"; # answer: 1 2 3 dd $container; # (1, 2, 3) # note the lack of naming of the container sub s($first, *@rest){ dd $first, @rest; } s($container); # $(1, 2, 3) # Array element = []
Here, $container is not a container. It is a List of Values and also a scalar. In quote interpolation it is handled like a list but in a signature as a scalar. In plain Raku (not in a signature, not in a quote, regex, etc.) '$' may not indicate Scalar.
