Then isn't making \w+ the default for match much easier?

(Although I still want m// to correspond to .m and s/// to .s, not m//
to .match and s/// to .subst.)

I think this is so often used that the default isn't even as insane as
it may appear at first sight.

>    say "foo bar baz".words()           .join(":");    # same as

    say "foo bar baz".match

>    say "foo bar baz".words(rx/\w+/)    .join(":");    # "foo:bar:baz"

    say "foo bar baz".match(/\w+/)

rx is optional, as bare // does rx// in Rule context, not m//.
