Your use of the term "uint" in reference to "UInt" is what makes me think so.
uint and UInt are different types – conceptually related, but with no type relation between them – the document on UInt tells you nothing about uint.
You are correct there
https://docs.raku.org/type/UInt
does not use the term "uint". But the examples go on to use UInt as a
uint. Hmmmm. Maybe the documentation needs a little polish.
UInt and uint have the exact same properties.
So when you say "a cardinal (uint) is a subset", this is not taken from the cited documentation, and appears to be taken from your own misapprehension.
Neither UInt or unit appears on the chart:

And I have noticed that a lot of folks have taken my use of the generic
arithmetic and programming term of cardinal way out of context.
