 Here's how Captures look like deferred argument lists:
 
-  sub make_car (Str $model, Str $color? = "black", Int $doors = 4);
-  my $car_cap = \("Model T", doors => 2); # some positional, some named
+  sub make_car (

+    Str $color = "black",
+    Int $doors = 4
+  ) { ... }

+  # some positional, some named
+  my $car_cap = \("Model T", doors => 2);

 =head2 What about multimethod dispatch and cases where there is more than one invocant?
 
-There's always one invocant, but it may be an Array of several values (see below).
+In the argument list (Capture), there is always zero or one invocant I<argument>.
+
+Multimethod dispatch governs cases where multiple invocant I<parameters> are
+declared in the parameter list (Signature); each of them may bind to the invocant
+argument, or one of the positional arguments.
 
 =head2 What happens when a named argument is repeated?
