*Code​:*
Inf.Rat.perl

*Result​:*
P6opaque​: get_boxed_ref could not unbox for the representation '20' of type
Num
  in block <unit> at -e line 1

There is no Num in the code, there is no 20, and the rest is just internal
stuff that makes no sense to the user.

In some sense, this is a subset of

19​:35 < nwc10> this is also a bug?
19​:35 < nwc10> m​: say Inf.Rat*0

19​:36 < viki> nwc10​: that's the same cause
19​:36 < nwc10> OK. I'll add that to the ticket unless someone else has already

19​:37 < viki> nwc10​: there're a couple of related tickets​: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=127341#ticket-history and https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl6/Ticket/Display.html?id=128857#ticket-history
19​:38 < viki> And this is the commit that explains what problem we solved by the current situation​: rakudo/rakudo@498d0a4
19​:38 < viki> So any new solutions should solve that problem too.
