These behave like overwriting

but they don't have to, since Aureliano started with "wrap" they can be
actual wrappers:
sub map-over-arg(\A) {my &nextone=nextcallee; A.map:{nextone $_}}

Thank you, Joe, for taking the time to write such a cogent reply. And
thanks to Tobias and everyone else who has taken the time to reply to my
questions.

Here's another way of phrasing these answers-
Some routines like "join" operate on strings, and thus coerce their
argument to a string.
Some routines like "sin" operate on numbers, and thus coerce their argument
to a number.
Each class defines how it coerces to Str or Num, regardless of what is
