"Illegal post-declaration of dynamic variable '$.symbol';\n" ~
"earlier access must be written as CALLER​::<$.symbol>\n" ~
"if that's what you meant"

This message was useful but it took me while to figure out that what I
wanted was CALLERS​::<$*dynamic> rather than CALLER. CALLER will only work
if there is a my $*dynamic made in the caller but this is not necessarily
the case. Should probably change exception to reflect that.

Maybe I misunderstood this bug report, but this seems to be fixed with commit rakudo/rakudo@16e5d295dc.

$ perl6 -e 'say $*a; my $*a'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Illegal post-declaration of dynamic variable '$*a';
earlier access must be written as CALLERS​::<$*a>
if that's what you meant
at -e​:1
------> say $*a; my $*a⏏<EOL>
  expecting any of​:
  constraint

The only test for X​::Dynamic​::Postdeclaration in roast is

  throws-like 'say $*a; my $*a;', X​::Dynamic​::Postdeclaration, symbol => '$*a';

So, is this ticket closeable?

Yep I was simply making a comment about the wording. Looks like it has been
fixed :)
