Code​:
say :5<1.I>

Result​:
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Couldn't process entire number​: 1/1 int chars, -1/1 fractional chars
at -e​:1
------> say :5<1.I>⏏<EOL>

What is “1/1 int chars”? Am I supposed to see a fraction here? Even if I
wasn't, what are these numbers?

Actually, this is a dup of https://rt-archive.perl.org/perl6/Ticket/Display.html?id=128804 , and I think it's now resolved.
