Hello Rakuns, How do i access the declarator block of my object method? I'm trying to do this, but it's not working: class A { #|( This is just a test with 3 parameters: * p1 - parameter 1 * p2 - parameter 1 * p2 - parameter 1 ) method test($p1, $p2, $p3) {

In general, the idea of initialized doesn't mean a lot in Raku, at least not at the language level. At any given time, any variable has a value. By default, if you've typed a variable, it's initially set to the type itself (Any is the default type, so the default default value). The only
