From perl6@6dof.xyz

How to reproduce​:

  time perl6 -e "say 'abcdef' ~~ /<{('a' ... 'z').list}>+/"
  「abcdef」

Current result​:

  real 0m4.455s
  user 0m4.203s
  sys 0m0.252s

Expected result -- same as with​:

  time perl6 -e "say 'abcdef' ~~ /​:my @​l = ('a' ... 'z').list; @​l+/"
  「abcdef」

  real 0m0.382s
  user 0m0.289s
  sys 0m0.093s

Note​: this is not a bug, I just wonder if it's a LHF.

Note 2​: As of my understanding, the issue is not due to the +
  repeater.
