In the pugs repo in t/ there are somtimes tests that haven't been yet
reviewed and moved to t/spec/, from which rakudo pulls most of its tests.

I think it should work. If you want to help, file a bug report
([EMAIL PROTECTED]). They are welcome for both bugs and TODO features.

All of them if you feel like, or just ask on #parrot or #perl6.
If there's no test yet, feel free to add one - types in signatures seem
to be under-tested indeed.
Which reminds me of, we should have a "guide to add tests" in the pugs
repo with all informations in one place, and have the linked to from the
rakudo README.
