From @zoffixznet

When the :g adverb is used with .match, s/// or, S///, the $/ contains a list of match objects
for each of the matches made during matching/substitution​:

  <ZoffixW> m​: 'fog'.match​: :g, /./; say $/
  <camelia> rakudo-moar 97359a​: OUTPUT«(「f」 「o」 「g」)␤»
  <ZoffixW> m​: S​:g/./x/ given $ = 'fog'; say $/
  <camelia> rakudo-moar 97359a​: OUTPUT«(「f」 「o」 「g」)␤»
  <ZoffixW> m​: s​:g/./x/ given $ = 'fog'; say $/
  <camelia> rakudo-moar 97359a​: OUTPUT«(「f」 「o」 「g」)␤»

However, the .subst/.subst-mutate methods only return the last match made and not all of them​:

  <ZoffixW> m​: 'fog'.subst​: :g, /./, 'x'; say $/
  <camelia> rakudo-moar 97359a​: OUTPUT«「g」␤»
  <ZoffixW> m​: ($ = 'fog').subst​: :g, /./, 'x'; say $/
  <camelia> rakudo-moar 97359a​: OUTPUT«「g」␤»

I briefly looked at the code and they seem to call match + APPLY-MATCHES just like S/// ops do.
No idea why the $/ ends up with just the final match.

Also affects :x and :nth modifiers

<Zoffix> m​: 'mmmmmmm'.subst​: :x(1..3), /m/, 'g'; say WHAT $/
<camelia> rakudo-moar 6a77cd​: OUTPUT​: «(Match)␤»
<Zoffix> m​: 'mmmmmmm'.subst​: :nth(1..3), /m/, 'g'; say WHAT $/
<camelia> rakudo-moar 6a77cd​: OUTPUT​: «(Match)␤»
