If I'm reading this right, the .^attr is exposing implementation details
of the object to get its components. To my mind that is not desirable.
And I think there's a Math error in the 4th line: you don't need the
components of a vector to do a dot product with that vector -- so it is just
my ($x, $y) = $vector «·« ( [1, 0], [0, 1] );
Which makes me wonder if all of them are just the dot-product of an
object with a role (i.e. it uses the .^attr of the role, not the object):
my ($num, $denom) = $real_number · :Ratio;
my ($mag, $phase) = $complex_number · :Complex::Polar;
Which has a pleasing symmetry with the "dot" used for method calls
