Attempting to generalize: what we want is an operator that extracts a
Seq of values from an object based on a positive criteria. For string
objects, this description matches the C<comb> method. Generalizing:
my @words = $line.comb( /\S+/ );
my ($num, $denom) = $num.comb( :Ratio );
my ($mag, $phase) = $z.comb( :Complex::Polar );
my ($re, $im) = $z.comb( :Complex::Cartesian );
my ($x, $y) = $vector.comb( [1,0], [0,1] );
