While you're there, also think about the gray area between arrays and hashes,
and whether .[...] subscripts are just a specialized form of .{...}
subscripts.
By the way, are lazy hash slices allowed?

This whole thing strikes me as a units problem. Much like we
don't care if the internal representation is meters or furlongs,
so long

I must say that I didn't follow the discussion (complex) very much. But this

The following is an attempt to put a number of Perl6 concepts into
practice, in order to see how useful and intuitive they actually are.
Complex numbers come in two representations: rectilinear coordinates
and polar coordinates:
