Coercion type works quite nicely in signatures, e.g. sub foo(Int(Cool) $f) { say $f.WHAT; } foo "42"; # (Int) but it doesn't work yet in variable declarations, e.g. my Int(Cool) $x; $x = "42"; # Coercion Int(Cool) is insufficiently type-like to qualify a variable Using Rakudo Star 2016.11: This is Rakudo version 2016.11 built on MoarVM version 2016.11 implementing Perl 6.c.
