In Python one can pass a string to the exit() function that will be displayed and the program exited. In Perl 6 I get: $ perl6 To exit type 'exit' or '^D' > exit("hello") Cannot convert string to number: base-10 number must begin with valid digits or '.' in '⏏hello' (indicated by ⏏) in block <unit> at <unknown file> line 1 Would it be possible to special case when someone passes a string to exit and give a better error message telling how to write that? Better yet, could exit accept a string?
