Let's start with this: Code: my Int $x = Inf Result: ===SORRY!=== Cannot find method 'value' LTA for sure (meaningless description, no line number). According to S02 (https://design.perl6.org/S02.html#Immutable_types) it should be possible to store Inf and NaN in Int. This, however, is not what we have right now. In other words, there are three (maybe more?) ways to improve this: 1) Make it possible to store Inf in Int (therefore the error will go away) 2) Make it throw NYI warning now, perhaps implement it later 3) Decide that Inf is not compatible with Int, fix the docs and make it throw a meaningful warning. However, there is another issue that is closely related to this. Code: say Int.Range Result: -Inf..Inf Whether this answer is correct or not depends on the decision above: 1) If it is possible to put Inf into Int variable, then it is correct. 2) If it will be possible later, then… um… I don't know. Perhaps it is a good idea to correct it now and then revert it later. 3) Just fix it! It should be -Inf^..^Inf (at least that's what would make it clear that you cannot use Inf as Int) IRC log: http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2015-12-22#i_11757210
