Run through your mind how this would be done with a junction in $x. Particularly focus on:
2..sqrt($x)
What the hell does that mean? Do you get a junction of lists out? Or
does sqrt die because it's not expecting a junction?
sqrt() won't die; it gets threaded and returns a Junction, I would expect. It's the lack of an &*infix:<..>(Int, Junction) function which causes death
In the context this question was posed, the proposal I was making, sqrt() would throw an exception. But that's likely not what this discussion is about.
In the terms of junctions as defined, I expect that it would stop at the lowest value of $x greater than or equal to 4. Unless we start allowing junctive lists as well as junctive scalars...
