I don't know exactly why, but it seems that Rakudo, failing to realize
that the 'sub' thing in the for loop in fact constitutes a syntax
error, it instead blames the first innocent variable declaration it
finds.

Now, more like std​:

19​:25 < [Coke]> rakudo​: my $d; class A {method x { $d }}; for () { sub }
19​:26 <+p6eval> rakudo 38907e​: OUTPUT«===SORRY!===␤Missing block at line 1,
  near "}"␤»

Closable with tests.
