I'm trying to pin down what $string.match(/pat/) should be returning.
From S05:
Under Return values from match objects
A match always returns a Match object...
From S29:
Under the definition of Str.comb
Saying
$string.comb(/pat/, $n)
is equivalent to
I really like all the replies I got to this; thank you Moritz,
Jonathan, TSa, Larry, John and Damian.
From the feedback I received, I will now do the following:
1. Remove is rw from all attributes that aren't supposed to be
writable from outside the class.
2. Start using $!foo consistently in

When thinking about this, it's also important to remember that,
in Perl 6, not everything with a sigil is automatically
writeable.
That’s not even new to Perl 6.
$ perl -e's/foo/bar/ for foo'

2. Start using $!foo consistently in methods, for both read and
write accesses.
Unless, of course, you want the class-internal use of the
attribute to go through its accessor! Which you are likely
to want for public attributes, and much less
I don't understand why this stuff is confusing; it's not new with Perl
6. There's a long tradition in O-O of distinguishing between the
externally visible accessor and the internal storage - Ruby self.foo
vs @foo, Java this.foo vs setFoo()/getFoo(), etc. In fact the Ruby
case is directly

It was a pleasure to be useful.

Thanks for clarifying however I'm still unsure what a Perl 6 user
should expect to get back from running $string.match(/pat/). This is
the one
high-level call to the .match method yes? So it should be returning a
List of Str (or List of Match in case of capture groups), is this
correct? I ask
