<masonkramer> How do I see if a thing does Callable?
<masak> rakudo​: sub foo {}; say &foo ~~ Callable
<p6eval> rakudo cae7f9​: OUTPUT«1␤»
<masak> rakudo​: sub foo {}; say &foo.^does(Callable)
<p6eval> rakudo cae7f9​: OUTPUT«1␤»
<masonkramer> Ahh, yep that's what I wanted
<masonkramer> by the way, shouldn't smartmatch always return Bools?
<masak> there's no such rule.
<masak> smartmatching on a regex, for example, returns a Match object.
<masonkramer> Right...right
<masonkramer> I would've expected Bool here though, just because I'm asking a yes or no
question
<masak> I'd say it's a bug too.
<masak> but I think it's been reported already.
* masak checks
<masak> yep -- http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=71462
<masak> but it's been resolved... hm.

<masak> those cases are indeed fixed.
<masak> this does not happen often.
* masak reopens ticket because C<&foo ~~ Callable> yields an Int

@masak - Status changed from 'resolved' to 'open'

From @Kodiologist

As of Rakudo 7fd3dea4a4d2, this should be fixed for good. Note that
before this change, some cases which appeared to be returning Bools were
actually returning Parrot Booleans.

See S03-smartmatch/any-type.t (roast 2167a018e61) for tests.
