Thank you so much for explaining what's going on here, Brad. You gave
a good example--just one that I misinterpreted. I think I understand
now: inside a regex Richard has to enclose his code within "<{ ... }>"
for it to be properly interpreted as a 'match objective' (I hope I
said that correctly).

That was just a dumb example.
An incredibly dumb example.
So what happens is that `Bool.pick` chooses The Bool values of either
`True` or `False`.
It does this at every position in the string.
'TrueFalse' ~~ / <{ Bool.pick }>
Let's say that initially `Bool.pick` chooses `False`.
That value t
Hi,
I seem to be having some problems with Brad's code. The 'boolean pick'
code seems far too clever for me to have intuited it on my own, so
(to expand my Raku/Perl6 vocabulary), I played around with matching
extra 'True' or 'False' values--as well as played around with seeing
if similar 'boolean
Understood. Thankyou.
The " quotes is what I missed. So $ = "@W[3]" worked as I would expect.
The other two variations, eg. $ =<{ @W[3] }>, gave Nil responses,
indicating match failure.

Inside of a regex `{…}` will just run some regular Raku code.
Code inside of it will most likely have no effect on what the regex matches.
What you should have written was:
$ = "@W[3]"
The thing you were thinking of was:
$ = <{ @W[3] }>
Which could have been written as:
