<masak> from S12: "The first form [the 'role A;' one] is allowed only as the first declaration in a compilation unit (that is, file or eval string)." does that mean I can have use statements before the declaration? <masak> ISTR there was a spec change to allow exactly that. <pmichaud> I know it came up for discussion; I didn't see the spec change. <pmichaud> let me see if STD.pm changed, though <pmichaud> (Rakudo followed STD.pm more than the spec, there.) <pmichaud> std: say 'ok'; module Bar; say 'ok!'; <p6eval> std 27032: OUTPUT«ok 00:02 35m» <masak> oh, STD.pm is very permissive. <pmichaud> std: say 'ok'; module Bar; say 'ok!'; module Foo; say 'no!'; <p6eval> std 27032: OUTPUT«##### PARSE FAILED ##### [...] <pmichaud> it looks like STD.pm is allowing only one "module Foo;" per compilation unit, but anything can come before it. <masak> ok. <masak> maybe that's sane. <masak> better than to whitelist things, to be sure. <masak> in that case, all that remains is a Rakudobug.
