<masak> right, so it's not syntactically correct in the first place.
<masak> but Rakudo could give a more awesome error indicating that.

<masak> it's the same error, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a different area.
<masak> hm. wait.
<uasi> CATCH{} inside &postcircumfix​:<{ }> emits broken PIR
<moritz_> it's the same. CATCH in subscript
<masak> moritz_​: well, you said 'try' was a funcall.
<masak> moritz_​: then that case is a subscript too.
* masak renames the ticket instead
<masak> uasi++

@masak - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Works now, tested in S04-exception-handlers/catch.t
