The unary C<^> operator generates a range from C<0> up to
-its argument, exclusively. So C<^4> is short for C<0..^4>.
+(but not including) its argument. So C<^4> is short for C<0..^4>.
for ^4 { say $_ } # 0, 1, 2, 3
+or with :by
+
+ for ^4 :by(0.5) { say $_ } # 0, 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5
+
If applied to a type name, it indicates the metaclass instance instead,
so C<^Moose> is short for C<HOW(Moose)> or C<Moose.HOW>. It still kinda
means "what is this thing's domain" in an abstract sort of way.
