This ticket is about a failing test (fudged 'todo') in S32-exceptions/misc.t. Rakudo does not complain about a plain '#`', whereas STD does​:

$ perl6 -e '#`'
$ viv -e '#`'
===SORRY!===
Opening bracket is required for #` comment at (eval) line 1​:
------> #`⏏<EOL>
Parse failed

According to S02 '#`' has to be followed by an opening bracket character​: http://design.perl6.org/S02.html#Embedded_Comments

But why? “#` foo” looks like a fine normal comment, why should it error out on a perfectly normal behavior?

I think this ticket is rejectable. Someone with bigger whatever should reject it.

Ah. Now I see why.

Consider this​:

#`| foo |

↑ that does not DWIM. And it's right to assume that you can do it because s||| works just fine. So either it should understand stuff like this, or it can give an error message as todo-ed.

So no, this is not rejectable. And the actual issue is about non-bracket characters, I think.
