See http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2014-12-19#i_9827480&#8203;:

naddiseo m​: enum A <Block>;subset B;
camelia rakudo-moar 30edf7​: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤P6opaque​: no such attribute
'$!signature'␤»
naddiseo Yeah.. what's that about?
I know it's something to do with "Block"
but that error is very uninformative.

raiph m​: subset B
camelia rakudo-moar 30edf7​: ( no output )
raiph m​: enum A <Block>
camelia rakudo-moar 30edf7​: ( no output )

raiph m​: enum A <Code>
camelia rakudo-moar 30edf7​: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤P6opaque​: no such attribute
'$!signature'␤»

Fwiw #​123407 gives a similar error.

Code, Block, etc. are the names of types used to construct code objects, and these are currently resolved using normal lexical scoping rules. Therefore, hiding them with other symbols that don't uphold the expected contract with the compiler is going to lead to things like this.

The issue first needs a decision at design level​: how should such types be located? One option is to only ever look for them in the currently effective SETTING, for example.

Closing.
