[perl #127093] gist missing for non-native typed array that doesn't get initialized

[Aleks-Daniel Jakimenko-Aleksejev via RT]

OK this issue is resolved with the commit mentioned above. Tests needed.

As for *int* native array having NaNs in it, that's not going to happen. It's
an array of native ints, it just can't and won't ever store any other type of a
value. A native int can't be NaN.

Thanks for reporting!

This was fixed, at least temporarily, with 42326d1b72f658f6dc5 .  No tests have 
been added yet, in lieu of finding out how we’re going to do this post 6.c .

Method 'gist' not found for invocant of class 'NQPMu'

I expected:
[(Int) (Int) (Int) (Int)]

By defining native typed arrays do have a gist:

> my int @a[4]
[0 0 0 0]
