I find google (rather than develooper's
archive/search) the best tool for most
searching of p6lang. Unfortunately even
google only goes back so far, and doesn't
search punctuation.

Perl 6's analog to "superpositions" is
currently called "junctions".

Smart match.

The old =~ operator was a specific variant
of this general idea.

More generally, based on an a table of what
to do for the various LHS/RHS combinations,
a value is picked from the LHS and compared
with a value picked from the RHS. The overall
hope is it just DWIMs.
