<masak> pmichaud​: can I report this to rakudobug?
<pmichaud> masak​: no, because it's not a bug :-)
<masak> I thought it best to ask for exactly this reason. :)
<pmichaud> or you can report it, but I'll respond with a message to
p6l saying "wtf?"
<masak> :)
<moritz_> it's ambiguous in the sepc, I think
<pmichaud> agreed.
<moritz_> maybe we need a wtf mail
<masak> ok, let's do it that way.
* masak submits rakudobug
<moritz_> for example char classes could require whitespaces
<moritz_> around the -
<pmichaud> oh
<moritz_> std​: /<foo-bar>/
<pmichaud> S05 beats us to it.
<p6eval> std 26089​: OUTPUT«ok 00​:03 35m␤»
<pmichaud> However, in order to combine classes you must prefix a named
<pmichaud> character class with C<+> or C<->. Whitespace is required before
<pmichaud> any C<-> that would be misparsed as an identifier extender.
<moritz_> wow
<moritz_> TimToady++
<pmichaud> okay, it's a rakudobug, and I don't have to ask p6l whazzup
<pmichaud> I just have to fix PGE to recognize perl6's new identifier
<pmichaud> it's because PGE wants <+foo-bar>
<pmichaud> without that, it can't recognize <foo-bar> as being anything usable
<pmichaud> so the pattern fails, so the smart match fails, so...
<masak> rakudo​: regex foo'bar { foobar }; say "foobar" ~~ /<foo'bar>/
<moritz_> that serial testing is slow :(
<p6eval> rakudo 0bb68e​: OUTPUT«Statement not terminated properly at
line 1, near "~~ /<foo'b" [...]
<masak> make sure you get that case too. :)

Tests added to t/spec/S05-metasyntax/angle-brackets.t.

$ perl6

grammar { token a-a { a } }
()
grammar { token a-a { a }; token b { <a-a> } }
regex assertion not terminated by angle bracket at line 1, near "-a> } }\n"

Now it works​:

grammar { token a-a { a }; token b { <a-a> } }

Tagging testneeded.

From @moritz

Tests fixed (made them use a lexical regex), and are now passing.
