Okay, I changed my mind. I think it does it does work for ~~ matching,
but not as an iterator
given 2 {
when 1 .. sqrt(3|6) { ... } # would work
}
for(1 .. sqrt(3|6)) { ... } # would fail, since Junction doesn't "do
Iterator" or whatever
1 .. sqrt(10) -> LazyList of (1..3)
1 .. sqrt(10|20) -> Junction of any(1,2,3, 1,2,3,4)
LazyList does Iterator, but Junction does not. You'd have to use (1 ..
sqrt(3|6)).values to iterate through the possible values
semi-randomly.
More likely, I'm nuts.
