I'm not sure what the correct result would be. S05 mentions that there should be a warning with overlapping bindings. Additionally, sorting of captures is supposed to be by the sub-Matches .from, but it's not clarified what happens to elements with the value for .from. In any case, the current behavior makes at least a few tests S05-capture/caps.t underspecific, e.g.

not ok 36 - .caps & - multiple terms# TODO & caps on jvm
use of uninitialized value of type Any in string context in sub proclaim at lib/Test.pm​:466

# Failed test '.caps & - multiple terms'
# at lib/Test.pm line
# expected​: 'alpha​:a|ident​:a'
# got​: 'ident​:a|alpha​:a'

From @AlexDaniel

As of today (2017.11,HEAD(e5b660e)) it prints a *third* variant​:

(ident => 「a」 alpha => 「a」 alnum => 「a」)

The change happened in (2017-02-22) rakudo/rakudo@1cafc67

To me it tells that it is just random.
