<moritz__> nqp: "\cla"
<p6eval> nqp: OUTPUT«Unrecognized \c character at line 1, near 
"la\""␤current instr.: 'parrot;HLL;Grammar;panic' pc 635 
(src/cheats/hll-compiler.pir:206)␤»
<moritz__> that's the error I'd expect
<moritz__> what's weird is that rakudo doesn't override <charspec> (the 
routine that throws this error)
* masak adds that to the ticket
