As I'm moving to the new server, I'm trying to dockerize everything that I had and migrate it. Whateverable is one of the projects. Note that for now I'll keep...

Currently, there's this check: https://github.com/Raku/whateverable/blob/cf9bcd03b154bcc570aca8a2628099a408cde460/xbin/Bisectable.p6#L266-L268 However, @lizmat++ and @Altai-man++ came up with an idea of doing this check automatically by comparing `.moarvm` files of the final commit and its parent....
