use v6;
sub foo() { say 'hi'; };
sub foo($i) { say "hi $i"; };
foo();

Gives as error
===SORRY!===
Redeclaration of routine foo
at test2.pl​:3
------> sub foo($i) { say "hi 2"; }<HERE>;
  expecting any of​:
  postfix
  statement end
  statement modifier
  statement modifier loop
  horizontal whitespace

Maybe it should mention "multi sub" as a possible fix?

I'm also not sure the "expecting any of" part is helping much in this case...

From @zoffixznet

Fixed in rakudo/rakudo@5dba970

Testsneeded (which I spot are being prepared in a fork​: MasterDuke17/roast@44779ac )

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