You can override WHAT with a method, you just have to use a syntax
that's not literally .WHAT, like this:
class Test { method WHAT() { say "i'm here" } }; Test."WHAT"();
# → i'm here
Ah, OK, you didn't mean override WHAT itself, but get an ersatz what in
some other way. Got it. Thanks.

It is easy to achieve.

I should clarify this, but I'm not recalling full details at the moment
which is why I didn't originally.
Perl uses a metaobject protocol (MOP, which you'll see in various places in
the docs). The "macro" to access the metaobject is the .HOW pseudo-method.
If you do this for a normal class or obje

Right. From here: https://docs.perl6.org/language/operators#postfix_.^
^method calls method
.WHAT is a "macro"/shorthand, which is why it's uppercase. There's a
metamodel (the real meaning of the ^) version of it as well.

Sorry, typo on my part.
Though that raises another syntactic oddity I might whine about: perl6
code examples frequently use ".WHAT". I was interested in getting a

Please check this https://github.com/perl6/doc/commit/f6df30a8fc
It's going to be soon in the docs (they are updated every 5 minutes if
there are changes), however a general discussion of when to use "but" and
when to use "does" is still missing. I'm working towards it in this page
https://docs.pe
I have added this to the documentation:
https://github.com/perl6/doc/commit/ddd101b089
I'll add also Liz's example to make it even clearer. Or maybe a link if it
does not belong in that section. I'll see what's best.

my @y does LookInside = @x;

Hm... the docs on objects has this example:
https://docs.perl6.org/language/objects
role R { method Str() {'hidden!'} };
my $i = 2 but R;
sub f(\bound){ put bound };
f($i); # OUTP
Smileys do not change "use … whenever possible". It;s still asserting there
is one correct way to contribute.

That was not "also", that was "this is the right way". "Ask questions in
StackOverflow whenever possible" does not leave room for "this is also a
good venue", it asserts that there is one proper venue and others are
discouraged.

Do you *really* want to tell some percentage of people that they must be

I thought this would work to make a copy of @x but with the role
"LookInside" attached to it:
my @y = @x but LookInside;
But that didn't add the role to @y. E.g.
say @y.^WHAT
Would just report (Array), not (Array+{LookInside}).
I found that this would do what I was trying to do though:
