I was playing with coercion types and wondered what would happen if a .Int method did not return the right sort of type: class Foo { method Int ( --> Str ) { 'Hello' } } put try-it( Foo.new ); sub try-it ( Int() $n ) { "Got <$n> of type <{$n.^name}>" } Although the subroutine signature demanded an Int, it accepted something that claimed to be able to convert but actually didn't: Got <Hello> of type <Str> I would have expected the runtime constraint to check the ultimate value against the type and this would have failed. -- brian d foy <brian.d....@gmail.com> http://www.pair.com/~comdog/
