Hmm... With the whole distinction of &foo as a value and &foo() as a
application of the value, maybe we can sometimes as

Nope, that will continue to coerce to numeric comparison. The design
team did in fact consider pure "equivalence" MMD dispatch of == in
the last meeting, but rejected it in

For "simple" values like numbers and strings == is numberic, because
it's affinity to it.

I don't like eqv, because it's ugly, inconsistent with anything else
in Perl 6, especially &&, ||, and ^^. It might be forced to fit into
the and, or, and xor family, but you'd expect to find 'eq' there,
and that's not what it means.
IMHO == is as "generic" as && and ||, and is even more like ^^ s

Hi,

the Pugs repository [1])
sub foo ($n, *%rest) {...}
foo 13;
# $n receives 13, of course, %rest is ()
foo 13, foo => "bar";
# $n receives 13 again, %rest is (foo => "bar")
