Some types provide methods, like .Bool, .elems, .Str that are defined for :D
subtypes. However,
these methods are defined as `only` methods, not `multi`, so the dispatch for
:U subtypes fails,
instead of those be handled by Mu.* methods.
I already fixed[^1] a bunch for Baggy role, but I notice other types have
similar issue:
<Zoffix> m: Seq.Bool
<camelia> rakudo-moar dd4dfb: OUTPUT: «Invocant requires an instance of
type Seq, but a type object was passed. Did you forget a .new? in block
<unit> at <tmp> line 1»
We need to check the codebase for more of these. I think some construct similar
to `for Any.^methods(:all)».name -> $name { for @all-core-types { ."$name"() }}`
can be used for automated finding of methods that need to be changed to multies.
