Relevance of some shaped Array tests

These tests define a shape trait that does not appear in the docs and isn't implemented in rakudo. Creating an Array with a Range is doable as well.

Do these still have any relevance?

These tests define a shape trait that does not appear in the docs and isn't implemented in rakudo.

IMO that can be removed.

Creating an Array with a Range is doable as well.

There are no errors as the test expects, but does it make sense to accept those values as shapes? I was expecting them to get coerced to Ints, but looks like they remain as Range objects. And you can even use a Seq with arbitrary elements as a dimension without getting any errors.

I think that should not be behaving that way and perhaps should throw, as the test expects it to.
