lizmat gfldex: Lists don't have a container descriptor, and Arrays do. It's the container descriptor that contains the default value 07:01
having said that, I think that's an issue with the Array.List coercer: it's taking a short-cut :-) 07:02
lizmat hmmm.. there actually appears to exist a test for the current behaviour :-( 09:25

Make Array.List with holes respected .default

Spotted by gfldex++ at irclogs.raku.org/raku-dev/2022-06-27.html#21:28 this commit will honour any (defined) default value of the Array.
However, after 12d7d5b48add8347eb119 a test for .List **always** returning Nil was codified in t/spec/S32-array/delete.t . In retrospect, I think ... (7 more lines)

Add sub version of .head / .skip / .tail

As requested in github.com/Raku/problem-solving/issues/328
There is one biggish issue with this, as the sub "skip" clashes with the "skip" sub as exported by Test. Fixed this by giving the version of "skip" from Test its own proto.
Since we added 3 more subs to the core, these tests all needed to be adapted as well.
