Compare the following two command lines, both should print
0​:

perl6 -e 'class A { has @​!a; method m { say @​!a.elems; }; };
A.new.m;'

perl6 -e 'class A { has Str @​!a; method m { say @​!a.elems;
}; }; A.new.m;'

The latter prints 1, and a more extensive example using a
class type instead of Str suggests that the array contains a
protoobject. No bisect results yet, but r35309 (just
pre-rvar2) prints 0 both times.

Just tried this in current Rakudo, and it outputs 0 both times as
expected. Assigning to moritz++ for spectets.
