The problem

In the description of Str.substr-rw (https://docs.perl6.org/type/Str#method_substr-rw), the default value for $length is not specified, even though $length is defined as optional.

Suggestions

According to IRC and experiments, a simple line saying that "$length, if not specified, defaults to the end of the string"
