<masak> is there any way to call a sub called '​::(name)'? :)
<jnthn> :​:('​::(name)')()
<jnthn> uh
<jnthn> :​:('&​::(name)')() # more likely
<masak> r​: constant name = 'foo'; sub :​:(name) () { 42 }; say :​:('​::(name)')()
<p6eval> rakudo 34e8d4​: OUTPUT«Start of substr out of range. Is​: 1,
should be in 0..0␤ in method Str [...]
<masak> oh wow.
<masak> r​: :​:('')

* masak submits rakudobug
<jnthn> oh, duh
<jnthn> :​:('...') pays attention to :​:s
<jnthn> So it will try to split on them
<jnthn> I wanted :​:{'&​::(name)'}()
<masak> r​: constant name = 'foo'; sub :​:(name) () { 42 }; say :​:{'&​::(name)'}()
<p6eval> rakudo 34e8d4​: OUTPUT«42␤»
<masak> \o/
<jnthn> But yes, the error for giving something wrong to interpolation
is LTA there.
<masak> this all goes into the ticket.
<jnthn> If you're going to file that substr thing it is a separate ticket.
<jnthn> (to implemeting indirect method name support)
<masak> that's the one I'm filing.

Current behavior​:

11​:12 <psch> m​: { :​:(''); CATCH { default { .perl.say } } }
11​:12 <camelia> rakudo-moar 3d6a73​: OUTPUT«X​::NoSuchSymbol.new(symbol =>
  "")␤»

I've added a test for that typed exception in roast commit c0f5cf283a90e143c286.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

There's a passing test; resolving ticket.
