WRT to sorting: The Date/Time/whatever class should overload
&infix:«<=>», so sorting really works -- if you sort those ISO strings,
you'll probably get wrong results, as the timezone diff isn't taken
into account.
I don't have a strong opinion on the default format of the
stringification.
Could/should we use .as for this, to leave the choice to the programmer?
say time.as("%H:%M:%S"); # 20:26:36
Note though that it's inconsistent:
say "hi".as("%H:%M:%S"); # error
say time.as("%H:%M:%S"); # works
