multi method AT-POS (::?CLASS: )
Expected to return the element at position $index

If you want an element to be mutable (like they are for the built-in Array type), you'll have to make sure to return it in the form of an item container that evaluates to the element's value when read, and updates it when assigned to. Remember to use return-rw
or the is rw
routine trait to make that work; see the example.
