The docs state the following regarding the feed operators: > In the case of routines/methods that take a single argument or where the > first argument is a block, it is often required that you call with > parentheses (though this is not required for the very last routine/method). https://docs.perl6.org/language/operators#index-entry-feed In the example, sort(), flat(), printf(), sprintf() can omit (): "my string" ==> sort "my string" ==> flat "my string" ==> printf "my string" ==> sprintf but fails with others (this isn't an exhaustive list): "my string" ==> say ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Unsupported use of bare "say"; in Perl 6 please use .say if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument, or use &say to refer to the function as a noun ------> "my string" ==> say⏏; "my string" ==> print ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Unsupported use of bare "print"; in Perl 6 please use .print if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument, or use &print to refer to the function as a noun ------> "my string" ==> print⏏; "my string" ==> reverse ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling: Unsupported use of bare "reverse"; in Perl 6 please use .reverse if you meant $_, or use an explicit invocant or argument, or use &reverse to refer to the function as a noun ------> "my string" ==> reverse⏏; This bug is similar to https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=112396 Tested on 2016.12, v2016.12.113.gd.1.da.1.ba
