A difficult bug in a program led to the problem below. I am not sure if
it is a bug in rakudo or not, but it seems a nasty place for typos if it
ain't.
I was using pair notation to define a hash. I missed a comma on the end
of one of the pairs, which led to the next pair not being recognised.
I then introduced the => for defining the hash and the same mistake was
caught. Note that in running the script the second mistake is caught
(viz. using =>) but the first mistake (using :xx() ) is not.
