To be more precise, according to S06:
"A value type is given as a prefix or with the 'returns' or 'of' keywords."
"The implementation type is given as a trait for the variable via 'is'."
It seems clear to me that the distinction is visible in a language level;
as I'm implementing the parser, this is crucial information to me, and
I suspect perl6-internals won't be of much help here...
Another interpretation is that there is only one default I-Type, namely Scalar,
and Array and Hash are merely V-Types types. In that case, I'd like to
inquire whether Lists and Arrays are always intercastable.
Thanks,
