<masak> that is an odd message, yes.

STD's stance on this seems more appropriate than complaining about a
missing semicolon.

From @usev6

Rakudo no longer complains about a missing semicolon, but fails with X​::Syntax​::Confused.

The error message differs from what STD complained about, though​:

$ perl6 -e 'Int​:erator​:$;'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Confused
at -e​:1
------> Int​:erator​:$⏏;
  expecting any of​:
  colon pair

@usev6 - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Not quite sure what to do with this ticket.

The output varies across releases​: https://gist.github.com/Whateverable/54e87afdbb2d88d2a959527b255681af

So at some point it started complaining about “Invalid type smiley 'erator'”, and so it's no longer possible to reproduce the original issue. I tried some other things but I can't get it to print something similar.

In any case, there are these two tickets RT#​125596 RT#​125674 which were resolved in rakudo/rakudo@5747bc7

I think the original problem should no longer be there.

Marking as ｢testneeded｣, maybe someone will come up with a way to reproduce it when writing tests.
