Code​:
say Inf.base(16)

Result​:
Type check failed in assignment to '$int_part'; expected 'Int' but got
'Failure'
  in block <unit> at ./test.pl​:2

Same thing with NaN.

Which seems reasonable based on previous discussion about attempting to use non Int sentinel values as Ints.

Closable, I think.

Nope. It is still LTA because​:
* it talks about $int_part
* it says “but got Failure (Failure.new(exception...)”

Just need to add `.self` to this method call here​: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/98fae3d84/src/core/Real.pm#L92

It will explode the Failure form .Int coercion and result in a better error.
