Surely because you haven't yet overloaded gozinta for the Number class!

 Just out of curiosity, how did you measure that? ;-)


Well, obviously, I used the Symbol::Readability module:

	module Symbol::Readability;

	sub delta_r(Str $a, Str $a) returns Int is exported {
	return sum [»ord«split//,$x] »-« [»ord«split//,$y]
	}

and then:

	#! /usr/bin/perl6

	use Symbol::Readability;

	print delta_r('~>','|>');

How else?


Hrm. What was the output?
