From @tadzik

When 'i' is not prefixed by a number it's not recognised as a Complex
number.

5i.WHAT
Complex()
i.WHAT
Could not find sub &i

i.WHAT is ok for the std evalbot on #perl6, but it's not for Rakudo.
Same happens for e.g. (2 + i).

Now fixed in b627e33. Assigning to moritz for spectest verification.

Thanks!
