Comma quibbling is a task originally set by Eric Lippert in his blog.

Task

Write a function to generate a string output which is the concatenation of input words from a list/sequence where:

1. An input of no words produces the output string of just the two brace characters "{}".
2. An input of just one word, e.g. ["ABC"], produces the output string of the word inside the two braces, e.g. "{ABC}".
3. An input of two words, e.g. ["ABC", "DEF"], produces the output string of the two words inside the two braces with the words separated by the string " and ", e.g. "{ABC and DEF}".
4. An input of three or more words, e.g. ["ABC", "DEF", "G", "H"], produces the output string of all but the last word separated by ", " with the last word separated by " and " and all within braces; e.g. "{ABC, DEF, G and H}".

Test your function with the following series of inputs showing your output here on this page:

* [] # (No input words).
* ["ABC"]
* ["ABC", "DEF"]
* ["ABC", "DEF", "G", "H"]

Note: Assume words are non-empty strings of uppercase characters for this task.

```
sub comma-quibbling(@A) {
    <{ }>.join: @A < 2 ?? @A !! "@A[0..*-2].join(', ') and @A[*-1]";
}

say comma-quibbling($_) for
    [], [<ABC>], [<ABC DEF>], [<ABC DEF G H>];

```

Output:

```
{}
{ABC}
{ABC and DEF}
{ABC, DEF, G and H}
```
