title: Can Raku range operator on strings mimic Perl's behaviour?
body: <p>In Perl, the expression <code>&quot;aa&quot; .. &quot;bb&quot;</code> creates a list with the strings:</p>
  <pre><code>aa ab ac ad ae af ag ah ai aj ak al am an ao ap aq ar as at au av aw ax ay az ba bb
  </code></pre>
  <p>In Raku, however, (at least with Rakudo v2021.08), the same expression creates:</p>
  <pre><code>aa ab ba bb
  </code></pre>
  <p>Even worse, while <code>&quot;12&quot; .. &quot;23&quot;</code> in Perl creates a list of strings with the numbers 12, 13, 14, 15, ..., 23, in Raku the same expression creates the list <code>(&quot;12&quot;, &quot;13&quot;, &quot;22&quot;, &quot;23&quot;)</code>.</p>
  <p>The docs seem to be quite silent about this behaviour; at least, I could not find an explanation there. Is there any way to get Perl's behaviour for Raku ranges?</p>
  <p>(I know that the second problem can be solved via typecast to Int. This does not apply to the first problem, though.)</p>
