I can only argue that since the function's name 'dir' reminds a shell level
command, and 'ls a' and 'dir a' work in a certain way, I was expecting that
the function 'dir' worked in the same way, following the Principle of Least
Surprise :-)

Thank you!
I could have inferred that from the declaration of the 'test' argument here
https://docs.perl6.org/routine/dir where the test
The reason `dir('a', test => { .IO.d })` doesn't work like you expect
is that it is passed strings.

.
c
b
..
("a/.".IO "a/c".IO "a/b".IO "a/..".IO)
So `.IO.d` is looking to see if the CWD directory had a directory of
that name, not the `a`
To further clarify, what I did to prepare this test is:
mkdir -p test/a/b
cd test
echo > a/c

Here's output of 'a/b'.IO.d from the REPL:

True

The dir method gives you entries in the directory you pass. If you don't
pass a test it'll use the default test which is none(".", ".."), i.e.
"anything except . and ..".
I'm not sure why using { .IO.d } as the test would not give you b,
though. Can you check what "a/b".IO.d outputs? Maybe that
