<sbp> not entirely sure what's going on there. what is the use case in
general for declaring that you *don't* want parameters?
<ruoso> sbp, to fail if anyone tries to send one?
<ruoso> rakudo: -> { say 'live' }.(123);
<p6eval> rakudo 78cb4c: OUTPUT«live»
<ruoso> oops
<ruoso> hmm
<ruoso> rakudo: -> { say $_ }.(123);
<p6eval> rakudo 78cb4c: OUTPUT«Use of uninitialized value»
<ruoso> hmm... for sure a rakudobug
I think -> { ... } implies an empty signature, so it would fail if you
call it with a parameter...
but then in a following test, I realized the problem is not related to
pointy blocks at all...
<ruoso> rakudo: sub foo() {}; foo(123);
<p6eval> rakudo 78cb4c: ( no output )
That was supposed to break...
With a further investigation, I found out that...
<ruoso> rakudo: sub foo() { say @_[0] }; foo(123)
<p6eval> rakudo 78cb4c: OUTPUT«123»
<ruoso> rakudo: -> { say @_[0] }.(123);
<p6eval> rakudo 78cb4c: OUTPUT«123»
Which means that it is actually assuming the default rountine signature,
when both cases imply an empty signature instead...
