The smartmatch operator aliases the left-hand side to $_, then evaluates the right-hand side and calls .ACCEPTS($_) on it. The semantics are left to the type of the right-hand side operand.
Here is a partial list of some of the built-in smartmatching functionality. For full details, see ACCEPTS documentation for the type on the right-hand side of the operator.
| Right-hand side | Comparison semantics |

| Mu:U | type check |
| Str | string equality |
| Numeric | numeric equality |
| Regex | regex match |
| Callable | boolean result of invocation |
