I find the error message quite good, because it reminds you that you
have really written ord().Cool.

What error message would you have expected?

Cheers,

Nowadays this gives the error message from std​:

$ perl6 -e 'say ord.Cool'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Unsupported use of bare 'ord'; in Perl 6 please use .ord if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument

  argument list

I added a test to S32-exceptions/misc.t with commit Raku/roast@8f858cb654

I'm closing this ticket now.

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