Re: How does List.map: { .say } work?

HaloO,
I think this is resolved with the is ref binding which
implies that the thingy that is bound to $_ is a cell
accessor of an array that provides a STORE method.
BTW, the situation of STORE and FETCH methods in classes
is kind of funny. While an object is stored in a container
the respective methods of the container are called. Only

That would make statement modifier for loops less useful. For those,

I have no idea how often $_ as an implicit parameter is actually used.
Note that if you want s/// to work, you really need a mutable $_.
If it were just for iteration, I'd not object to making it an ro-alias by
default, requiring an explict rw signature (for example with <-> $_ { ... })
otherwise.
Cheers,

Or Larry could just find an elegant way to do it. Yay!

I meant, make it readonly if the container being iterated over is
readonly. We're working hard to make the language prefer immutable
things, it seems very odd to short circuit that in a key area like
this...
(Though personally, I would prefer it if map was readonly by default
on all containers.)
