Since grep is defined as returning a list of matching elements and

Does the empty list count as undefined for the purposes of //?
Namely, does "(^5).first({ @data[$^i] == $something }) // -1" work as

Given that it claims that $buf will will contain plain octets, $buf
should
be a Buf8.
Then why is the type of $buf conspicuously absent from the method
signature? It seems like there should be more to it than that.
