From @AlexDaniel

Code​:
require ""

Result​:
Must specify something as a path​: did you mean '.' for the current directory?
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

I don't think you can require a directory�

The error message comes from here https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/d565ded0292813582a285835b4a388279ca8c6a3/src/core/IO/Path.pm#L15
and has nothing to do with ï½¢requireï½£.

I'm not totally sure it makes sense for any kind of file, either.

say ("").IO # Must specify something as a path: did you mean '.' for the current directory?

Also DRY by putting it into a constant. Closes Raku/old-issue-tracker#6588 when accepted.
