That's likely not to be the case in p6. You should be able to overload the
operations for arrays and hashes, and ought to be able to do objectish
things with them. (Though they may not actually be 'objects' in the full
perl sense)

Just overload the array. Your ADD (or whatever it gets called) method will
be called when you do math with your overloaded array.
