From @bbkr

Spec is not very precise about perl() method, but current behavior is for sure
LTA for Bool type​:

$ perl6 -e 'True.perl.say'
Bool.new()

Value is lost because "so Bool.new()" is False.

Another side effect is that one can get unexpected mix of object types and
values like​:

nom​: any(True, 1).say
nom 4a57bd​: OUTPUT«any(Bool.new(), 1)â�¤Â»

[15​:17] <jnthn> bbkr​: Yeah, that stringification is LTA

[15​:24] <lumi_> bbkr​: Also maybe junction needs a .gist method?

This has been patched and tests added in recent days, so resolving it now.

Thanks,
