So does it mean that a "3-story" multisub with two colons will
always win against one with one colon?
multi sub foo (Any $x: Str $y: Str $z, Str $w) { 1 }
multi sub foo (Str $x, Str $y: Str $z, Str $w) { 2 }
say foo("x", "y", "z", "w"); # 1
Is the final level ($z and $w) participating in the MMD at all
as tiebreakers? Luke mentioned that in all levels but the final
one, Manhattan distance (sum of inheritance deltas of each invs
to the expected types) is used, but on the final level, leftmost
tiebreaking is used. Is that the case? If yes, why? :)
