Hi.
I was fiddling about with a small example of how nice radix adverbials are
for conversion:
my $x = 6*9;
say :13($x);
rakudo: 69
($x = 54 in base 10, but 54 in base 13 is 69 in base 10.)
Strangely enough, I cannot find a way — in the spec — of both treating a
number as something in base 13

It would be a number $y for which $y ** 0 == $x, which can only be
fulfilled for $x == 1. So in the general cases the answer to the

I'll just butt in here and say that while the URI format is nice for
alternate schemes, it is not nice for accessing files.
The general case in most programming languages is to assume that a
non-URI file name is local, specifying
file://wherever/whatever/filename is unnecessary additional syntax.
