-If your delegation object happens to be an array:
-
- has @handlers handles 'foo';
-
-then Perl 6 assumes that your array contains a list of potential
-handlers, and you just want to call the I<first> one that succeeds.
-This is not considered a wildcard match unless the "handles" argument
-forces it to be.
-
-[Conjectural: the hash syntax is reserved until we figure out the
-semantics we really want, and whether this actually buys us anything
-over normal polymorphism.] If your delegation object happens to be
-a hash:
-
- has %objects handles 'foo';
-
-then the hash provides a mapping from a set of Selectors specified as Pair
-keys to the object specified as the Pair value that should be delegated to:
-
- has %barkers handles "bark" =
- (Chihauhau => $yip,
- Beagle => $yap,
- Terrier => $arf,
- StBernard => $woof,
- * => $ruff,
- );
-
-If the current object matches no Selector, a "C<nextsame>" is
-automatically performed.
