I was sure up until the time that I read your reply :). Why? I guess its a case of ass/u/me; plus reading other people's assumptions (e.g. Michael Lazzaro's initial "Chapter", at cog.cognitivity.com/perl6/val.html). If I am wrong, then I am in need of enlightenment. What is the difference between the primitive types and their heavyweight partners? And which should I use in a typical script? Dave.
