According to http://perlcabal.org/syn/S03.html#Nesting_of_metaoperators
+* should generate a closure which numifies. This does not work, as

  my $x = +*;
  isa_ok $x, Code, '+* is of type Code';

fails, as do attempts to use +* in sort as in the S03 example there.

This appears to me to be a separate issue from RT #​67450, which
appears to expect +* to do something very different.

Now fixed in f48920, thanks!
