Would you please rakudobug it and maybe ping MasterDuke about it, since
they might be more familiar with that code path

Also, a LTA error, even if that was considered invalid. Should probably
mention that a radix is a valid option there.

⒗ won't work by design for a bunch of stuff. See rakudo/rakudo@​e28305cc99b969b9592b9d6606ec5b6d25995a90 for some discussion. It has a .uniprop of 'No' instead of 'Nd'. However, it may be possible to improve the error message.

After some discussion with TimToady (https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6-dev/2016-09-26#i_13280449), I'm rejecting this ticket. However, if more people open similar tickets the overall problem (Unicode numbers being treated differently than Unicode digits in some cases) could be revisited.
