No. We can't just use circumfix |...| with arbitrary expressions in it,

Hello All,
So I am expanding our .isa() tests for built-in datatypes (in
particular Array), and I have a few (probably very simple) questions
(since I cannot seem to find details on this anywhere).
Is there an isa() built-in for this?
Or it is really @array.meta.isa() (from the Introspection sec

A crude hack sometimes used by gung ho p5 testers is to redefine
perl built-in functions. For example:
BEGIN {
*CORE::GLOBAL::read = sub (*\$$;$) { return undef };
}
to test read failures (and so boost your Devel::Cover score :-).
This technique is not very convenient (must be in a BEGIN bloc
