There's a raku/doc issue about needing to add it
(https://github.com/Raku/doc/issues/3807)
but unfortunately none of us has done so yet :
It is being tested in Roast, so I'd say it's not really that experimental
anymore :-)

Hello,
I'm really glad to read of your experience, because I was wrestling just
yesterday with a problem that feels similar.
I wanted to write a simple sub which could accept both an Array and a List,
and that was simple:

Explicit coercion, however, isn't done with context: it is done with the
.as() method: $num.as(Int). I think that's weird.
Not to mention the fact that you might have put an Int there for
typechecking purposes instead of coersion pur

We've been thinking of changing .isa to something longer, or a method
on .meta, because it's a notion that is often misused. U
