When using smartmatch against a regex, auto-whatever closure generation
does not work whereas manual pointy closure does work.

A '{ * eq $match}' behaves differently than a '{ * ~~ /<$match>/}'.
However, '-> $x { $x ~~ <$match>}' behaves as expected.

For a test case​:

Golfed to `<foo bar>.map({ * ~~ /<$_>/ }).eager.head.("foo").say`

Should say True, but says False
