Question about list context for String.chars

[gcomnz]

Hi all, 

I'm writing a bunch of examples for perl 6 pleac and it seems rather
natural to expect $string.chars to return a list of unicode chars in
list context, however I can't find anything to confirm that. (The
other alternatives being split and unpack.)

# unpack
@array = unpack("C*", $string);
# split
@array = split /./, $string;
# this too?
@array = $string.split(/./)
# and how about this?
@array = $string.chars
# and this explicit list context?
@array = $string.chars[];

Thanks,

Marcus
