From @moritz

Consider this​:

00​:57 <@​moritz_> rakudo​: 'ab' ~~ m/(.)+/; say $0.WHAT; say $1.WHAT
00​:57 < p6eval> rakudo ad7389​: OUTPUT«List␤Failure␤»

A quantified positional captures places a List into $0, and nothing into
$1 - that's correct, in my understanding. But when iterating over @​($/)
it runs the body of the loop twice​:

00​:57 <@​moritz_> rakudo​: .say for @​('ab' ~~ m/(.)+/)
00​:57 < p6eval> rakudo ad7389​: OUTPUT«a␤b␤»

That should be one iteration, where $_ is a List of two Match'es.

I also believe that this accounts for a bug in Match.caps, even though I
changed the tests to think otherwise... I'll try to think a bit more
about it tomorrow, after a good portion of sleep ;-)

Cheers,
Moritz
