Self-consistency is itself a fuzzy concept. In any case I am specifically thinking of a discussion recently in IRC which went over why at least some of this is actually self-consistent *for perl 6*. I may be able to dig it up again, or hopefully someone else already has it on tap. (That said,

Erm. Isn't Nil a silent Failure? Insisting that it be propagated and retained in all circumstances basically asserts that it must be a distinct concrete value, and specifically *not* any form of Failure. Could someone clarify this? (At present my understanding is that it is a silent Failure and

Yes, this is because classes / roles are not proper closures. And yes, I’ve been bitten by this as well. To me, making them proper closures, feels like the correct solution to me. But I’ll settle for a warning / exceptione :-) > On 9 Mar 2017, at 16:35, Sam S. (via RT)

Re: How to defined reversed word in a perl6 grammar ?

The method for defining reserved words in general is to have a rule that matches them (typically "match anything in this array" or a long alternation), and then modifying the rules where those reserved words are not allowed to reject them. So for that grammar, you want to change "identifier" to
