Also, giving huge values that don't yet trigger the above bug causes a hang,
perhaps it shouldn't be refying everything?

Turning xx into a Seq is already on my radar and I already have a patch for it.

But first I needed to make sure that HYPER could handle Seq’s as a result of the infix op. That’s been fixed now. Currently look at one other spectest fail.

From @lizmat

The 42 xx 999999999999999 case is fixed with rakudo/rakudo@f190f241e0 .

Not having an Empty indicate the end can only be done by breaking at least two spectests. Also​:

  (|(),) xx 42

would then hang. So this feels like something that cannot be fixed generally, unless we accept the hanging behaviour of this example.

I also have a patch for the thunked version of xx. But alas, this still breaks a couple of spectests that do​:

  my $a = 0; ($a++,) xx 42; # note the xx Seq is in sink context

So for some reason, it looks like the Seq.sink-all is not doing any pull-one’s. Still investigating!
