Trey,
The signatures are very important to the developers.
They only confuse the programmer.

I'm a programmer, not an expert in language design, I don't even have a
formal education about programming, because when I attended university
there was no such thing yet.
I started studying Raku in December 2015 and I have to admit that at
first I didn't understand signatures.So I went on and I read the
documentation page on signatures. That solved my problem.
I'm talking about the 2015 version of the documentation, which is now
much improved and I'm writing this just because I think that the people
who have been writing that documentation for all those years really,
really deserve to be thanked.
A lot.

Hi Fernando,
You make good points. Please do not misinterpret my issues
with they way the docs are presented as diminishing the work
those people have put into it. Good grief, I have enough
problems with folks thinks I am calling others dogs.
As to you not having a formal education in programming, I
have a customer how is probably only one of five people
in the country that can do what he does. It is a treat
to be around him. And guess what? He only has a high school
education. He knows more than PHd's. Your accomplishments
in programming are to be admired.
