From @masak

<masak> m​: say "abc def abc".comb(/a<(bc)>/)
<camelia> rakudo-moar 23faf6​: OUTPUT«(abc abc)␤»
<masak> I expected "(bc bc)" here
* masak submits rakudobug

Because of the <( )>, the .comb is meant to only capture the "bc" part
of the "abc" match.

<masak> oh, here's a better example for the RT ticket​:
<masak> m​: say "abc xbc".comb(/a<(bc)>/)
<camelia> rakudo-moar 23faf6​: OUTPUT«(abc)␤»
<masak> it's correct in that it matches only on the first word
<masak> it's incorrect in that it includes the "a", when the <( )>
tell it to exclude it

This used to work. I just updated nom like this

From github.com​:rakudo/rakudo
  b87a27b..23faf61 nom -> origin/nom

And I had confirmed before rebuilding that the old build does not
carry the regression.

Fixed with ae85bac528be5fc6a1 , tests needed

I added three tests to S05-metasyntax/angle-brackets.t with commit Raku/roast@2292a4554a

I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
