Improve error msg for traits passed invalid args

Previously, traits called with invalid arguments would throw an X::Trait::Unknown error, which was confusing when the trait _was_ known. With this commit, they'll now throw an X::Trait::Invalid instead.

Remove unneeded/confusing can('prec') checks

This builds on commits caba0d3 and a7ccfc6 (admittedly not that promptly!). The prior commits moved the .prec method to Code with the to prevent the need of checking whether various functions can prec; this commit removes six such `can('prec')` checks in the `is equiv`,
  `is tighter` and `is looser` traits.

MasterDuke is there any `<foo>` where i can do `my Int $r = <some random Int>; $r == <foo>` and it will always be false, but without a warning? e.g., not Nil, because that warns `Use of Nil in numeric context` 09:35

gfldex MasterDuke: ^^^
moon-child also the DIY route: class Special {}; multi infix:<==>(\x, Special \y) { False }
gfldex You have to make sure not to produce any NaN ofc.

m: say NaN == NaN
camelia False
gfldex I forgot about that. :) 09:39

gfldex But then, Raku is way smarter then me.

Xliff \O 10:26
Is there an example implementation of CALL-ME documented somewhere?
MasterDuke m: class A { method CALL-ME($name) { say "Hi, $name" } }; my $a = A.new; $a("Bob")Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā  # you mean something simple like this? 10:29
camelia Hi, Bob
Xliff Hmm... probably not. I thought CALL-ME was used for every method call. 10:30
m: class A { method CALL-ME($name) { if name.lc eq 'bob' { say "Hi, $name" } }; }; my $a = A.new; $a.bob 10:31
camelia ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling <tmp>
Undeclared routine:
name used at line 1
Xliff m: class A { method CALL-ME($name) { if $name.lc eq 'bob' { say "Hi, $name" } }; }; my $a = A.new; $a.bob
camelia No such method 'bob' for invocant of type 'A'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
Xliff And no, I don't mean FALLBACK, here.
Basically, I want to be able to intercept all method calls made to an object or its children. 10:32
MasterDuke hm. don't have any methods in the class and have FALLBACK instead call subs with the given name? 10:34
10:41 ShaneC left
MasterDuke m: class A { method !a($name) { say "hi, $name" }; method FALLBACK(|c) { my $method = c[0]; my \args = c.skip; say "sneakily intercepted a call to '$method'"; self!"$method"(|args) } }; A.new.a("Bob") 10:42
camelia sneakily intercepted a call to 'a'
hi, Bob
Xliff LOL! I see whut you did, thar. 10:44
That actually might work in the long run.
Still, setup would be slow since FALLBACK is expensive, no?
MasterDuke i think it got a bit faster with new-disp, but sure, it's probably somewhat slower 10:45
m: class A { method !a($a) { $a + 1 }; method FALLBACK(|c) { my $method = c[0]; my \args = c.skip; self!"$method"(|args) } }; my $a = 0; my $A = A.new; $a = $A.a($a) for ^1_000_000; say now - INIT now; say $a 10:47

camelia 0.041119068

MasterDuke so ~100x slower
nine Grammar::Tracer does what you seem to want: github.com/jnthn/grammar-debugger/...Tracer.pm6 10:50
Xliff Yeah. 100x slower is not so good. 10:53
nine: Huh! So it does. Thanks! 10:54
nine The Grammar::Tracer method should avoid any slowdowns (except for the one imposed by your wrappers themselves)
Xliff And I've looked at this code before. Kinda was hoping I didn't have to resort to messing with the HOW, but alas...
MasterDuke i'm trying to do ^add_method in FALLBACK, but FALLBACK keeps getting called 10:56
Xliff Hahaha!
Was wondering about that.
MasterDuke but then i do get the error `Package 'A' already has a method 'a' (did you mean to declare a multi method?)`, so it's getting installed, but not called 10:57
Xliff And this doesn't work, either. Surprisingly, I'm surprised this is geting called on BUILDALL! 11:07

[Coke] doc test shows that we have Range.sum doc'd as returning Numeric, but the source doesn't have that restriction. Should it? 15:52
nine lizmat: FWIW I would approve your PR on "Preparing the Raku Ecosystem for the Future", but I'm not a reviewer in the problem-solving repo :) 15:55
15:56 cognominal joined
MasterDuke [Coke]: can't think why not, though fwiw, none of the sum methods or subs have a return type 15:58
[Coke] nine++ for making me check that apparently I was a requested reviewer.
Performance concerns?
Seems like being explicit is good, esp. these days? 15:59
nine Python mantra says "explicit is better than implicit"
Return type checks can be speshed away. That was one of the original goals for spesh plugins and later new-disp. 16:00
They are what makes return "dispatchy"
[Coke] I can put together a PR that makes all the sums Numeric and see if it breaks anything. 16:02

[Coke] m: dd (2, 3|4, 5, 6|7).sum 20:38
camelia any(any(16, 17), any(17, 18))
[Coke] so the sum returns a Junction and the declared -->Numeric fails.
20:43 notna left
gfldex m: dd (True, True).sum; 21:33
camelia 2
gfldex So to make return type constraints work (not just for sum), Junctions would need to become Nilish. 21:38
What makes sense to me, as Junctions stand outside the ordinary type system. 21:39
