# from documentation under Package-qualified names:
#
# "Sometimes it's clearer to keep the sigil with the variable name, so
an alternate way to write this is:
# Foo::Bar::<$quux>
# (This does not work with the &zape variable) The name is resolved at
compile time because the variable name is a constant."
#
# So, I tried &zape, which gives the expected error output. However, it
suggests possible corrections, which I tried.
# say Foo::Bar::<&zape>; should also fail, but compiles, executes, does
nothing, gives strange msg
#
use v6;
class Foo {
class Bar {
our &zape = { "zipi" };
}
}
say Foo::Bar::zape; # works - prints 'zipi'
# this should not compile - see error msg below
#say Foo::Bar::&zape; # Nope - it does not compile - correct
# ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling

# ------> say Foo::Bar⏏::&zape; # Nope - not compile - correct
