That's pretty, but if you don't move Junction upward, you haven't
really addressed the question Autrijus is asking.

Er, but Junctions take methods, the same way Objects do, so if there is
an Object in the type hierarchy, Junction probably belongs to it.
Maybe there is a role called 'Junctive'? I think junctions are
orthogonal to other types, except

Or maybe Any really does mean Object and we're just viewing our
hierarchy too strictly if we make every relationship isa. That's one

I can see marking things explicitly for named bindings:

Er, sorry, the last one should be
foo(*%{ hash @list_of_pairs });
Thanks,

Maybe we should rename Any to Atom. Then maybe swap Item with Atom,
since in colloquial English you can say that pair of people are
an item.

was precisely to discourage people from accidentally write

and have $x accept a Junction. In other words, any()
