title: Multiplication with Perl 6 Sequence Whatever (...) operator
body: <p>I have seen examples of the Perl 6 whatever (...) operator in sequences, and I have tried to find out how to do a sequence which involves multiplications.</p>
  
  <p>The operator does the following, if one starts with some numbers, one can specify a sequence of the numbers following it.</p>
  
  <pre><code>@natural = 1,2 ... *;
  @powersOfTwo = 1,2,4 ... *;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and so on.
  One could also define a sequence using the previous numbers in the sequence as in the fibonacci numbers (shown in this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3980842/">question</a>), where one does the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@fibonacci = 1,1, *+* ... *;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that the multiplication operator is <code>*</code> and the previous numbers are also represented with <code>*</code>. </p>
  
  <p>While I can define a sequence using <code>+</code>, <code>-</code> and <code>/</code>, I can not seem to find a way of defining a sequence using <code>*</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@powers = 1,2, *** ... *;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it obviously does not work.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to this?</p>
