The keyword is "traditionally". We're used to a dynamic language that
bends the rules all the time, including runtime. Why would Perl stick to
academic limitations, while optimizing for the most common use is the
standard?
my Array::Const @foo;
@foo ~~ Array; # False?! Please, no.
Though in practice I expect "is ro" to be used, not a subtype or subset.
