I'm very happy with the summary and proposal with the exception of this
piece.  Rarely in Perl do we die on ambiguity and I can't think of any case
involving scalar string/number mutability.  (E.g. perldata is pretty clear
about not needing to worry about such conversions.)

I would prefer the Any ~~ AmbiguousScalar case to warn and fall back to
string comparison.  If someone wants to die on ambiguity, they can make the
warning fatal.

I think this gentler approach would be more Perlish.
