(21​:45​:55) TimToady​: s1n​: so yes, die without arg is supposed to work, and
there's a rakudo bug

Seems that die and fail methods called without parameters are not properly
dispatching with $! as the parameter. Interestingly enough '...' causes the
same problem, which might not be the proper action/error.

Note​: this was mildly edited to remove unrelated IRC chatter.

From @kyleha

In r27491, I put a test in S29-context/die.t for the "die with no
argument" bug. There are some other things mentioned in the
conversation that perhaps also merit testing, but I haven't tested
those, just the "no argument" case.

[17​:02] <bbkr> rakudo​: try { die "foo" }; try { die; CATCH { say $!} }
[17​:02] <p6eval> rakudo f34e78​: OUTPUT«Died␤␤»

However I'm not sure if your test is spec-compatible - die without
params should passthrough previously set $! ?

This and the original posting all work now​:

Closable with tests.

fail, exit, die, and ... have tests. closing.
