P13 (**) Run-length encoding of a list (direct solution).
    Implement the so-called run-length encoding data compression method
    directly. I.e. don't explicitly create the sublists containing the
    duplicates, as in problem P09, but only count them. As in problem P11,
    simplify the result list by replacing the singletons [1,X] by X.

示例

> encode_direct(<a a a a b c c a a d e e e e>).perl.say
([4, "a"], "b", [2, "c"], [2, "a"], "d", [4, "e"])

use v6;

multi infix:<compress> ( $a, $b ) { $a ~~ $b ?? [$[2, $a]] !! [ $[1, $a], $[1, $b] ] }
multi infix:<compress> ( @a, $b ) {
    
    if @a[*-1][1] ~~ $b {
        @a[*-1][0]++;
        return @a;
    } else {
        return [ |@a, [1, $b] ];
    }
