Thanks for all the answers. This will get me going.
I was unaware of the ' Hash[Int, Str]' type of declarative syntax.
I knew Hash[Str] was a thing but was unaware of the '[Int,Str]' type of
syntax.
Thanks for the insight!

I wouldn't use a subset like this:
subset PhoneBook of Hash[Int, Str];
I would instead use a constant:
constant PhoneBook = Hash[Int, Str];
Then you can use that for creating new instances.
PhoneBook.new(); # Hash[Int, Str].new()
# or
my %pb is PhoneBook; # my Int %pb{Str};

Hey ladies/gents,
How would one go about defining a subset of a Hash who's key's and values
are both constrained by something
I've read https://docs.perl6.org/type/Hash and it does make mention of
constraining keys and values, but not within the context of a subset.
Before I go ripping my ha
