I expected these two forms to behave the same​:

  <Zoffix_> m​: my $ where .so && .name = sub foo {}
  <camelia> rakudo-moar a2602b​: OUTPUT​: «Sub object coerced to string (please use .gist or .perl to do that)␤ in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1␤»
  <Zoffix_> m​: my $ where { .so && .name } = sub foo {}
  <camelia> rakudo-moar a2602b​: ( no output )

However, it looks like in the thunk form, the return value of the thunk is then smart matched against the original value.

Well, I fixed this bug!.... and then realized it's not even a bug.

The behaviour without the block is correct​: when checking, the thunk calls .so and then .name, and the return value of that gets smartmatched agains. This is the same as what we do with `when` clauses.

The correct way to write that would be to use `&`.

And .so on .name

If Zoffix gets this confused, maybe the explanation needs some work
for mere mortals?
