Users who provide their own scalar real numeric types are encouraged to implement the -C<Real> role. Because all C<Real> types are well-ordered, it is desirable that any two -C<Real> types be mutally compatiable, even if they are not aware of each other. The +C<Real> role. Because real numbers are strictly-totally-ordered and +C<Real> types try to emulate that property, it is desirable that any two +C<Real> types be mutally compatible, even if they are not aware of each other. The current proposal requires you to define a C<Bridge> method in your C<Real> type, which converts your type into a neutral C<Real> type by restating it in terms of the fundamental Perl 6 types and calling C<Bridge> on them. This then makes the default C<Real> methods
