Code:
say ^5 .BagHash.pickpairs(2.5);

Result:
(1 => 1 4 => 1)


Code:
say ^5 .BagHash.pick(2.5);

Result:
count computed to 2.5, which cannot be used
  in block  at  line 1


I find it impossible to predict when non-Int args are alright and when they are 
not. I would expect consistency of some sort.

(same thing with .grab and .grabpairs)
