Converting an array into a junction is easy, use C<any> or C<all>:
$x = any(@array);
$y = all(@array);
"Perl 6 and Parrot Essentials" says to convert that to convert a
junction into a flat array, use the C<.values> method. (I didn't
find an equivalent statement in the synopses/apocalypses/exigeses.)
