Cool isn't cool

[isomorphisms]

The problem

I was hoping the Cool type would be cooler.

Suggestions

Why not just call it Num or Number?

Basic arithmetic isn't cool. Nor is coercion. It's just something I want to take for granted. Surely there are cooler things in perl6.

From https://docs.perl6.org/type/Cool:

Cool, also known as the Convenient OO Loop

So maybe it's not Cool but at least it's COOL.

Members of type Cool are "cool with whatever" num-y or string-y methods you throw at it. It's the type that gives Perl 6 much of the dynamic behavior Perl 5 users are used to.

This isn't a doc issue; if you want to argue the naming should be changed, I suggest you bring it up on perl6-language@perl.org.
