How come last one should be same? Aren't they different types? I'd expect `Array[Int] ~~ Positional[Numeric]` to give False Some investigation: ( https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-dev/2017-05-05#i_14534952 ) IIRC calling a method on a role puns it and in fact punned Positional doesn't accept a Positional of a different type, but calling .ACCEPTS does not appear to pun a role: 00:58 Zoffix Calling a method on a role puns it, right? 00:58 m: say Positional[Numeric].ACCEPTS: Positional[Int] 00:58 camelia rakudo-moar f2af3d: OUTPUT: «True» 00:58 Zoffix m: say Positional[Numeric].^pun.ACCEPTS: Positional[Int] 00:58 camelia rakudo-moar f2af3d: OUTPUT: «False» 01:00 Zoffix m: say Positional[Numeric].self.ACCEPTS: Positional[Int] 01:00 camelia rakudo-moar f2af3d: OUTPUT: «False» Also, I don't know whether this is right or not; that `istype` op gives true when a role is parameterized with a type that accepts another... 01:01 Zoffix m: use nqp; dd nqp::istype(Positional[Int], Positional[Cool]) 01:01 camelia rakudo-moar f2af3d: OUTPUT: «1» 01:01 Zoffix Is it supposed to do that?
