Hi there,

say (<a b c> Z [1,*]).perl
["a", 1, "b", *] # wrong, should be​: ["a", 1, "b", *, "c", *]

S03, L4346​:
"By default the C<zip> function reads to the end of the shortest list,
but a short list may always be extended arbitrarily by putting C<*>
after the final value, which replicates the final value as many times
as necessary."

Thank you!

Ilya

As I understand the spec, it should be <a 1 b 1 c 1>.
I've added a test for that to t/spec/S03-operators/misc.t

$ perl6 -e 'say (<a b c> Z 1,*).perl'
("a", 1, "b", Whatever.new())

The tests work now, so I assume everything is fine now.
