If you convert an Array with holes into a List, it makes sense for holes to be
turned in Nils,
and if you individually AT-POS them, Nil is indeed what you get. However, if
you .perl or .gist that List,
or assign it to another Array with some `is default`, the Nils turn up to be
Mus:
m: my @a = <a b c>; @a[1]:delete; @a[5] = 42; @a.List.gist.put;
@a.List.perl.put; my @b is default(42) = @a.List; say @b.perl
rakudo-moar b8eda6: OUTPUT: «(a (Mu) c (Mu) (Mu) 42)("a", Mu, "c", Mu, Mu,
42)["a", Mu, "c", Mu, Mu, 42]»
Which is especially weird, if you assign some Mus into the Array:
m: (my @a)[1] = Mu; @a.List.gist.say
rakudo-moar b8eda6: OUTPUT: «((Mu) (Mu))»
m: (my @a)[1] = Mu; @a.List[0,1].say
rakudo-moar b8eda6: OUTPUT: «(Nil (Mu))»
Looks like the logic that turns holes into Nils on AT-POS also needs to be
added in the iterator.
