Mea culpa
:!show-countdown === :show-countdown(False)
:show-countdown === :show-coundown(True)
But skewer-names, not snake.
Thanks Peter for the correction.

I'm answering this question in the main list to explain some shortcuts.
Just to make sure it all works (if Windows will accept GTK), copy the
program from the Readme to a script file and run it with raku.
Playing around with it should make things clear.

7) why is there no "show-countdown"?
There is! `:show-countdown` is named parameter to the method 'show', and an
example is shown.
By default `:show-countdown` is True, so there is no need to set it if you
want a countdown. If you dont want a count-down shown, then you need to set
`:!show-countdown` , which in itself is a shortcut for
`show-countdown(True)` . This was one of the examples.
Just a minor point: ITYM "a shortcut for show_countdown(False)" :)
Those shortcuts are becoming fairly common raku idioms. I didn't think it
would be necessary to document them.
G'luck,
Peter
