IO::Path clarifications

[colomon]

Working on borrowing IO::Path for Niecza, I've come up with a few questions.

• Say we've got

  my $p = IO::Path.new(:basename("4th.pl"), :directory("."), :volume(""))

What should $p be? The spec says "Stringification returns the path (volume, directory and base name joined together) as a string", which to me would naively suggest ./4th.pl. But Rakudo and Roast seem to think it should be just 4th.pl. That's reasonable, I'm just curious what the official rules for this should be.

• S32-io/dir.t has a test which does

  my @files = dir();
  @files.grep('t');

Should that's trying to smartmatch an IO::Path and a Str. Should that work?

I will add more things here as they come up...

Talking with labster++ I've concluded that smartmatching IO::Path ~~ Str should indeed work, as Str.ACCEPTS does an eq check, which should convert IO::Path to Str.
