Just a sanity check, but is this kind of behaviour something we still
want from junctions?
Perhaps the above should just print JUNCTION(0x1234) or something,
like the other built-in types do.
But in Perl 6, they *don't*. The serialize somehow (probably by calling
their C<.serialize> method).
And I suspect that junctiosn serialize as follows:
* Disjunctions (C<any>s) serialize to their eigenstates.
* Conjunctions (C<all>s) and abjunctions (C<one>s)
with exactly one eigenstate serialize to that.
* Every other junction serializes to some representation of
its junctive type and internal states (e.g. "all(1,2)",
"none('Crosby', 'Stills', 'Nash', 'Young')", etc.)
