Currently, calling .min or .max on an non-empty Hash throws a spurious error:

    ➜ say {a=>3, b=>2, c=>1}.max(*.value);
    Index out of range. Is: 1, should be in 0..0

    ➜ say {a=>3, b=>2, c=>1}.min(*.value);
    Index out of range. Is: 1, should be in 0..0

I think they should operate on the Hash is list context (i.e. make .max work 
like .list.max, and .min like .list.min).

That's what other list'y methods already do when they're used on a Hash:

    ➜ say {a=>3, b=>2, c=>1}.grep(*.value == 3);
    (a => 3)

    ➜ say {a=>3, b=>2, c=>1}.sort(*.value)
    (c => 1 b => 2 a => 3)
