Currently Rakudo has difficulty parsing pointy blocks in term position
-- it gets confused by the leading hyphen and thinks it's a prefix​:<->.
(For a variety of reasons, terms aren't currently participating in
PGE's form of longest token matching.)

I'll see if I can fix this in the very near future.

Now fixed in r34388​:

  $ ./parrot perl6.pbc -e '.say for <a 1 b 2>.map​: -> $a, $b { $a ~ $b }'
  a1
  b2
  $

Thanks!
