I expected the .then'ed code to be in my dynamic scope so it'd see the variable I'm using, same as it's seen in a start block​:

<Zoffix__> m​: my $*FOO = 42; sub bar (&amp;code) { code }; bar { say $*FOO; await start { say $*FOO }.then​: { say $*FOO // 'aint there' } }
<camelia> rakudo-moar 3755c0​: OUTPUT​: «42␤42␤aint there␤»

In fact, they're visible some of the time, when a .then'ed promise has already completed​:

<Zoffix__> m​: my $*FOO = 42; sub bar (&amp;code) { code }; bar { say $*FOO; my $p = start { say $*FOO }; await Promise.in(1); $p.then​: { say $*FOO // 'aint there' } }
<camelia> rakudo-moar 3755c0​: OUTPUT​: «42␤42␤42␤»
