All my attempts to do signature binding result in that error, which is
very LTA - I don't see how an infix operator can receive a different
number than 2 arguments, yet it expects 3 and gets 1 - WTF?

This works now​:

my ($f, $o, @​a); @​a = 2, 3, 4; :($f, $o, $) := @​a; say $f.perl
2

Think that's sufficient for tagging testneeded - there is an issue about
| handling in capture literals, but that can be a separate ticket.
