Looks to me that ($a;;$b) as a signature is NYI, so perhaps we should make it an NYI compile time error in the mean time.

At least, I don’t see where that information is currently being kept in the Signature object.

From @usev6

I added a test to 06-signature/introspection.t with commit Raku/roast@9a4daf7f91

Please note that the output no longer contains the type Any​:

$ perl6-m -e 'sub foo($a;; $b) { say "OH HAI" }; foo(1, 2); say &foo.signature'
OH HAI
($a;; $b)

I'm closing this ticket as resolved.
