say [+](2..7),8,9
44

That should produce the same thing as this​:

say ([+]2..7),8,9
2789

Functional notation works for named functions, just not for meta-operators.

I'm not sure it's supposed to be as you said - after all, +(1 * 2)
doesn't parse the + as a function call either - that's only for
alphanumerics followed by (), otherwise it's only a matter of precedence.

Could please you cite a piece of the spec that supports your claim?

<TimToady> rakudo​: say [+](1,2,3) / 2; # fayl
<p6eval> rakudo 3a339e​: OUTPUT«1.5␤»
<TimToady> should print 3
<pmichaud> right
<pmichaud> I don't think rakudo's parser understands [+] as function
call syntax yet.

works now, and tested in S03-metaops/reduce.t
