Surely the interpretation of the index should be up to each array-type?
role OffsetArray[::ElementType = Object;; int $MinIndex = 1]
{
is Array;
has ElementType @.contents;
method circumflex:? [ ] ? (int $index where { $_ >= $MinIndex } ) {
return @.contents[$index - $MinIndex];
}
}
Good idea. That retains the functionality, but without us having to
spec it :).
