Current specced behavior for Range objects.
: 2.5 ~~ @(1..5) # false: equivalent to "2.5 ~~ (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)".
Not by current rules; which say the left side matches the list 1..5
as a whole. We don't do implicit junctifying of lists anymore, and haven't
for several years. Which points to the correct Perl 6 utterance for that:
2.5 ~~ any(1..5) # false
Wherein, as you suggest, the 1..5 in list context does in fact iterate the
range to produce individual values.
