This is perl6 version 2013.10 built on parrot 5.9.0 revision 0

Either it should let me do that, or at least say something sensical.

The latest Rakudo now correctly "lets you do that" :) Tests for this were added in Roast commit 5f5f5fbb26 ( Raku/roast@5f5f5fbb26 )

Marking this ticket as resolved :)

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

@Mouq - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'

@coke - Status changed from 'resolved' to 'open'

I cannot reproduce this regression on rakudo version 2015.07.1-922-g7e265b6 built on MoarVM version 2015.08-34-g113c3b5
