Int
Wrong answer
It’s absolutely the right answer. You autoboxed it by running a
method—`.^name`—on it. A uint can’t respond to `.^name`, so you can
never get that as the right answer. If you try assigning a negative
value to it after doing `.^name`, you’ll be able to, but if you read it
back, it will be the complement.
You seem to be asking for Raku to intentionally provoke, then recover
from, a segmentation fault, and then tell you whether or not it faulted.
Is that what you’re asking for?
How am I suppose to know when something gets altered by my
observation of it? Seriously.
If it is a uint, I want to see uint. If it
is being altered, I want to see that too.
