A uint can’t respond to `.^name`, so you can never get that as the right answer. If you try assigning a negative value to it after doing `.^name`, you’ll be able to, but if you read it back, it will be the complement. You seem to be asking for Raku to intentionally provoke, then recover from, a segmentation fault, and then tell you whether or not it faulted. Is that what you’re asking for?
