IMO it should complaint about missing param, not about bad type

Rakudo currently throws an X​::Numeric​::Confused for the example code​:

13​:29 psch m​: :2() # RT #​112728
13​:29 camelia rakudo-moar 7ea485​: OUTPUT«You have confused the number with the textual representation "";â�¤if you wanted to render the number in the given base, use $number.base($radix)â�¤ in block <unit> at /tmp/na_4apNiYp​:1â�¤â�¤Â»

STD on the other hand parses it just fine, which I assume happens because there's no backend that actually does anything with the parse result​:

13​:29 psch std​: :2()
13​:29 camelia std 76ccee1​: OUTPUT«ok 00​:00 136mâ�¤Â»

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