<colomon> rakudo: .say for "hello";
<p6eval> rakudo 5b81df: OUTPUT«h␤e␤l␤l␤o␤»

<masak> I'd be very interested in how that occurs.
<colomon> yeah, me too.
<masak> are Str objects iterable now?
<colomon> geez, I hope not!
<masak> I mean accidentally. :)
<colomon> and
<colomon> rakudo: for "hello" { .say }
<p6eval> rakudo 5b81df: OUTPUT«hello␤»
<masak> o.O
<masak> curiouser and curiouser.
