Maybe my favorite example of the differential applications of `comb` vs
`split`. Below, sometimes you want to precisely tease-apart text, and
`comb` works towards that end. Other times you want to destructively
blast-away at text--eliminating the destractions--so you use `split`, until
you see the

How about if I want 64 or more digits?
This is a place where .comb() is likely much better than .split() -- .comb()
allows you to specify what you're wanting instead of what you're wanting to

$ raku -e "say sqrt(2).comb(/\d/).join(', ');"

You did great for not knowing Raku!

Always gotta be careful with reals. I also attempted
