The plural carries every meaning of the singular, from the stage to the social sciences to software. An actor takes on roles; the members of a team or a society each have their roles, the behavior expected of them; and the words of a phrase fill different grammatical roles. Programmers in Raku use roles too, composing them into classes instead of inheriting from them.
