Okay.
I'm seeing similar behavior with things like sin:
use v6-alpha;
use Test;
plan 2;
{
is(sin(pi()/2), 1, 'sin, parenthesized');
my $halfPi = pi()/2;
is(sin $halfPi , 1, 'sin, bareword with a variable');
}
returns
1..2
ok 1 - is! sin, parenthesized
Null PMC access in invoke()
current instr.: 'parrot;Perl6::Compiler;main' pc 138 (perl6.pir:98)
So that should fix a whole raft of semi-related bugs.
