[12:40:44]  <lizmat>    looking at (;;$a) signature
[12:41:12]  <lizmat>    apparently the internal datastructure is set up the 
same way for (;;$a) as it is for ($a;;)
[12:43:23]  <lizmat>    jnthn: I'm not sure how to fix that in the grammar
[12:44:11]  <moritz>    ($a;;) should be the same as ($a), no?
[12:44:23]  <lizmat>    yes
[12:44:33]  <lizmat>    but *not* the same as (;;$a)
[12:45:17]  <lizmat>    the ;; just resets the multu-invocant flag to be 
applied to the parameter
[12:45:34]  <lizmat>    in the case of (;;$a), the reset happens too late
[12:54:32]  <jnthn>     lizmat: I don't immediately know how to fix that...
[12:54:41]  <lizmat>    me neither  :-(
[12:54:42]  <jnthn>     lizmat: Agree it's a problem, though
[12:55:02]  <jnthn>     Can you RT it, and I'll take a look at it a bit later...
[12:55:06]  <lizmat>    ok, I'll rakudobug it
[12:55:10]  <jnthn>     Thanks :)
