Please take a look at http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=73356:
<moritz_> rakudo: say max(1..5) <p6eval> rakudo c05478: OUTPUT«-Inf» * masak submits rakudobug for max(1..5) The weird thing is that it is right, according to the current spec. It says our multi max( Ordering @by, *...@values ) our multi max( Ordering $by, *...@values ) so the range 1..5 is actually bound to @by of the first candidate, leaving *...@values empty, and the default value of -Inf for a max() with no values seems to be quite OK. Of course this is not what the casual reader suspects. My proposed solution is to get rid of the sub form of max() entirely. Any objections?
