Btw, I had misunderstood ERN when, in 2018, I wrote the email
message I linked in the Note section of my previous email.
ERN is an intuitive sense that some movement you are initiating
is in some way a mistake. For example, quoting keys of a pair.
It's often unconscious, and, aiui, ignoring it ent

Bruce Gray points out that this is one of the known traps:
https://docs.raku.org/language/traps#Named_parameters
I gather there's some sort of special-casing going on where you might
think that named arguments are exactly the same a list of pairs, but
that's not precisely what's going on, and r

Before I get started here, a small point about defining hashes.
There are various ways that work:
my %h1 = ( 'ha' => 1, 'ho' => 2, 'hum' => 3 );
my %h2 = ( ha => 1, ho => 2, hum => 3 );
my %h3 = ha => 1, ho => 2, hum => 3;
my %h4 = 'ha' => 1, 'ho' => 2, 'hum' => 3;
