<masak> can't adverb? o rly?
<masak> how do I $x ≅ 0 :tolerance ?

<bartolin> like that?
<bartolin> no, probably not ...
<masak> nope, that's just printing a pair, not passing an adverb.

I've been looking into this and just got some clarification from TimToady
on expected behaviour for adverbs and chains in general (
http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2016-06-02#i_12589974). The gist is that
adverbs should be placed at the end of a chain and then distributed to all
the operators in the chain, which will of course make the example in this
ticket "just work".

It seems that it is possible adverb custom operators, e.g.

perl6 -e 'sub infix​:<~~~>($x,$y,​:$z) { say "$x $y $z" }; 1 ~~~ 2 :z(12)'
1 2 12

However, when these are chained, the adverb is not distributed

perl6 -e 'sub infix​:<~~~>($x,$y,​:$z) { say [$x,$y,$z].perl; 9 }; 1 ~~~ 2 ~~~ 3 :z(12)'
[1, 2, Any]
[9, 3, 12]

So, if adverbs are made to distribute across infix operators in general then I suppose this existing behavior would change.
