If I define a MAIN sub with a Str parameter and pass an integer
argument, the type check fails and MAIN is never called. '10' is
technically a string, so I think it should still pass a string to MAIN.
(Example code attached)

From @hoelzro

use v6;

sub MAIN(Str $value) {
}

# output when I run perl6 main-str-int-argument.p6 10​:
#`(
$ perl6 main-str-int-argument.p6 10
Usage​:
  main-str-int-argument.p6 <value>
)

This now works.

Closable with tests.

I added a test to S06-other/main-usage.t with commit Raku/roast@f5a77ba56d

I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.
