[perl #132711] [LTA] Stupidly using `is assoc` with unary prefix operator has an error message from the deep

And we can't throw on those, because assoc is meant to be used to disambiguate between prefix/postfix that have same precedence. It explodes in EXPR parser when trying to pop from @termstack. That area is too hard for me right now, so I'm giving up on this ticket, in case anyone else wants to give a go...

This looks to be the same issue as RT#131099. It lists a potential fix that
fails compilation: https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=131099#txn-1455809

I stupidly did this:
sub prefix:<²> ( Int:D \m --> Int:D )
is assoc
{ m ** m }
put ²(²2);
And got this error:
===SORRY!===
MVMArray: Can't pop from an empty array
I figure that associativity doesn't make any sense for unary prefix
operators but that error message is from pretty deep in the swamp. I'd
rather have something like "Don't do stupid things that make no sense"
sort of error.
