Now does the same as STD​:

sub f { f(|$) }; say "alive"
Unsupported use of $) variable; in Perl 6 please use $*EGID

Tagging testneeded.

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

Added test to roast in commit a78a516 as per the example above.

@coke - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'

From @usev6

It looks like this was not a bug regarding '|$' in a signature, but a mis-parse. AFAIU commits rakudo/rakudo@ce263122bc and perl6/std@53b3ca6ff2 changed the parsing rules for rakudo and STD, respectively. The error messages are gone now​:

< bartolin> std​: sub f { f(|$) }
<+camelia> std 28329a7​: OUTPUT«ok 00​:00 138m␤»
< bartolin> m​: sub f { f(|$) }
<+camelia> rakudo-moar 5bfaaf​: ( no output )

I changed the test accordingly and moved it to S02-names/bare-sigil.t (commit Raku/roast@b251b6fc0f).
