[perl #71452] Num ~~ numish does not behave as expected

While reviewing this older ticket, I'm having some trouble deciding what other behavior is desired. Perlop defines "nummy" as "Either an actual number, or a string that looks like one.", changing that to perform numeric comparison on number ~~ string, even for strings that are clearly not numbers, seems problematic.

The code matches the documentation, so I'm marking this as wishlist. However, I also propose to mark this rejected.
