You would need HEAD{^{/foo}^@}x3, or use special rule that HEAD^{/foo}x2
means really HEAD^{/foo}^@^{/foo}, with ^@ used to join them.

That said, does ^2x500 really do something meaningful that a person
would ever need?  I like the

      ^{:nth(3)/foo}

syntax because perl6 supports m:nth(3)/foo/, suggesting a menu of
already-defined modifiers to implement when they prove useful, known
already to a certain subset of the audience and proven useful already
in a different context.

I like the ^{:nth(3)/foo} syntax as well. Though I'm not familiar with Perl 6,
this does have the benefit of being fairly obvious to the reader as to what it
means.

OK so :nth(3)/foo for all branches?
