&?ROUTINE is only set *inside* a subroutine or a method. So it can't find
&?ROUTINE, and then falls back to the normal error that you get when
referencing an unknown subroutine (taking the `&` off of the full name of the
subroutine), e.g:
$ raku -e 'foo'
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Undeclared routine:
foo used at line 1
The error message is indeed a bit confusing in the &?ROUTINE context.
