Do we still get to keep the current semantics if we specificially declare a
string? e.g.
my Str $x = "-100";
$x++;
say $x; # prints -101
my $y = "-100";
$y++;
say $y; # prints -99

I'd vote for that.
As well as a hand full of adjectives.
$x++ :p5 # do it the old way, I just ported my program.
$x++ :field # I'm interested in preserving lengths of runs
$x++ :num # Preserve meanings of things that look like numeric
literals
$x++ :order # I'm interested in preserving comparison order
Just an idea, especially the first one.
