<colomon> btw, masak:
<colomon> rakudo: say ~(1, 2, 3)
<p6eval> rakudo d4be43: OUTPUT«3␤»
<colomon> already reported?
<masak> o.O
<masak> no.
* masak submits rakudobug
<masak> rakudo: say (1, 2, 3)
<colomon> I tried fixing it, and it was a mini-disaster
<p6eval> rakudo d4be43: OUTPUT«123␤»
<colomon> rakudo: say (1, 2, 3).Str
<p6eval> rakudo d4be43: OUTPUT«1 2 3␤»
<masak> strange that only prefix:<~> is broken.
<colomon> agreed.
<colomon> So strange, in fact, that I initially didn't even bother to
test .Str, assuming that writing Parcel.Str would fix the problem.
<masak> rakudo: say ~(4,5,6)
<p6eval> rakudo d4be43: OUTPUT«3␤»
<masak> ok, so it's length, not last element.
<masak> probably stringifies the numification or something.
