If an operator has no use (i.e. you should always use a type-specific operator) then why is it in the language at all? If it's there, someone will use it, and if it shouldn't be used, then that's bad that someone uses it.

Why would you use a type specific operator in a quick script where you don't need to really think about typing and all your perl 6 variables are typed as 'Any' as they aren't specifically typed?
