[perl #126127] [LTA] undefined type qualifiers ignored

[Christian Bartolomaeus via RT]

There is a test in S06-parameters/smiley.t that the code

  sub a(Int:foo $a) { $a }

fails with X::InvalidTypeSmiley. I'm closing this ticket as 'resolved'.

$ ./perl6 -e 'sub aa (Mu:wibble $a) { }; say "hi"'
hi

The :wibble, having no defined meaning, is being silently ignored.
That's less than awesome.  It should signal an error, to catch typos and
to avoid programs quietly changing meaning when a qualifier is defined
in the future.
