class Supplier { }

This is a factory for live Supply objects, which provides the mechanism for emitting new values onto the supplies:

my $supplier = Supplier.new;
my $supply_1 = $supplier.Supply;
$supply_1.tap(-> $v { say "One $v" });
my $supply_2 = $supplier.Supply;
$supply_2.tap(-> $v { say "Two $v" });
$supplier.emit(42);

Will output:

One 42
Two 42

on demand supplies are created by the factory methods of the Supply class or by the supply keyword. A mixture of a live and on-demand Supply can be created with a Supplier::Preserving.

my $supply   = $supplier.Supply;
$supply.tap(-> $v { say $v }done => { say "no more answers" });
$supplier.emit(42);
$supplier.done;

Will output:
