<camelia> rakudo-parrot 0bf3de, rakudo-jvm 0bf3de​: OUTPUT«"foo" => 13â�¤Â»

<bbkr> should those two lines above return the same result (pair)?
<FROGGS> I would expect that, yes

This isn't a bug... "say :$foo" is passing a named argument to say(), and at the moment say() ignores any named arguments it receives.

It's a valid question as to whether say() should carp when called with a named argument, but that would be a specbug and not a rakudo one. :-)
