These work fine​:

  say /a/.ACCEPTS​: (a=>2); # ｢a｣
  say (a=>2) ~~ /a/; # ｢a｣

But this fails​:

IRC discussion​:

  smls​: Looks like .first might be cutting corners by calling
  $element.match($predicate) instead of $predicate.ACCEPTS($element)
  in case of a regex predicate
  jnthn​: Looks like
