This can be golfed to just:
Junction.new;
And it has been fixed to throw a better error message now:
➜ Junction.new;
Cannot resolve caller new(Junction: ); none of these signatures match:
(Junction $: \values, Str :$type!, *%_)
(Junction $: Str:D \type, \values, *%_)
According to bisectable¹, it was fixed by a commit² in June.
The 'bigger issue' was possibly RT #131395.
Is `Junction.new` meant to be public API?
If not, do we still need a test for this?
