Have set operations been implemented in either Rakudo or Pugs?

Keys, OTOH, don't have any such requirement; so continuous keys may
very well be doable. If they _are_ doable, you have to ask questions
such as "how do I assign values to a continuous interval of keys?" To
truly be robust, we ought also answer this question in terms of

Jon, I like all of your stated ideas in general. I also don't care about the
postfix %; that was just a concept example pulled from the inexact comparison
thread. The idea of using zero is also appropriate conceptually with shades of

I was thinking that Perl 6 ought to have a generic interval type that is
