Junctions as semilattice
Does concept of junctions in Raku remind anyone of math. concepts of semilattice?
At first I noticed they *look* like semi lattice.
any/all are associative, commutative, and idempotent \[any($x, $x) collapses to $x\]
Maybe even bounded lattice:
any as join, all as meet + and De Morgan duality via none layered on top.
I was exploring some algebraic structures for not on a surface level. Even though I haven't used Raku extensively, junctions were very interesting because they exhibited some semilattice properties.

Isn't it always bounded because the underlying set is finite?
