No.
I know you've been progressing in your understanding of
OO in general, and Raku's in particular, since you wrote
this email. So I won't explain it for now, but rather just try
to confirm you now know what that bit of code is doing.
So, would you say you now understand that `.value` is a
method call on an "invocant" that is either explicitly written
to the left of the `.` or is implicitly whatever the current topic
is where the `.value` appears?

Would you say you now understand what "invocant" means?
