Rakudo often treats Ranges as a kind of List, but in the case of list
slices, r34628 currently fails with a runtime error​:

$ perl6 -e 'say ("a".."z")[0]'
elements() not implemented in class 'Range'
[...]

Support has been added to my fork hosted on github​:

http://github.com/s1n/rakudo/commit/1de512e97ed339c4e7edfa694b0d92421ea542ec

This will need some refactoring in the future, but will suffice for now.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

From @tene

This works in current rakudo. If there needs to be more work on this in
the future (as suggested in a comment on the ticket), either a new
ticket needs to be filed or this one needs to be reopened with more
detail on what needs to be done.
