What if you say 'when test($_)'? Or just 'when &test'? How do you
smart match on a function: call the func with the target as argument
and use the return value, or call it without any argument and compare
the return value to the target? Does arity matter? Or whether the
function is declared to return a Boolean value/called in a Boolean
context?
