That sounds like a subclass of Bag to me.
But I don't think that thinking about who is subclassing whom is is how to
think about this in Perl 6. All of these types are capable of doing the
Iterable role, and that is what methods that could operate on a List, Array,
Bag, or Set, should be calli
Sorry:
I meant capable *in theory*. It's not in the spec right now for Sets or Bags.

I just implemented Bag to the point where it passes the spectests.

However, in doing so, I discovered that I'm not really sure what Bags are
for, anymore.
The more I think about Bags and Sets, the more my brain
I'm honored that my letter generated so much activity, and thank you all for
your thoughtful responses. I'd like to address a few points.

I understand everything you've written except the following:

I still have uses for Durations.
For instance, I want to dispatch a different .Stringy method to Durations than
to Nums. It's convenient to me that the difference between two Instants has a
different type than the difference between 1654321681.123 and 1654321021.65438.
I just think Durations
One method-like thing that's come in handy for me as I've tinkered with the
language is .WHAT.
{ ... }.WHAT
Block()
AFAIK, you can use .WHAT on *any* term, because every term in Perl6 is an
object that is implemented by a class, and every class has a corresponding type
object (which is what .
ls the
story, even in the repl.
But seriously, congrats on breaking .WHAT in 60 seconds flat ;)

I don't grant the premise. Perl 6 is less complex than Perl 5. Number of
operators is not remotely a measure of complexity. Neither is "size of the
interpreter at runtime". "Number of things that the language does for you
in a standardized way" is actually a measure of simplicity, not complexity
