My understanding was that in Perl6, you could use pretty much anything for a hashkey--string, number, object, whatever, and that it did not get mashed down into a string. Did I have this wrong?
Not wrong. But it's not the default. The default is Str keys only. But I take your point and it may well be that C<want 'hashkey'> is a useful think to know.
