Mixed in roles:
https://docs.perl6.org/language/objects#Mixins_of_roles
may be helpful as well.
You can add a role not just to a class, but to an instance of any other
class.
my $x = "something";
say $x.WHAT;
role MyDebugRole { method mydebugthing { say "mydebugthing" } }
$x does MyDebugRole;
say $x.WHAT;
$x.mydebugthing;
(Str)
(Str+{MyDebugRole})
mydebugthing
$x will totally act like it used to, but anywhere you like, now you can
call .mydebugthing() on it.
Pretty cool.
