S05 has changed the meaning of colons following assertions, such that <.foo: Some important message> must now be written as <.foo: 'Some important message'> In the near term PGE will add support for recognizing quotes following the colon and parsing accordingly. Well deprecate the non-quoted form, but leave it in place for a while to allow existing Perl6Regex users to convert to the new quoted form. After that's been done, we'll eliminate the non-quoted form from PGE. S05 further generalizes the syntax to allow multiple arguments after the colon, as in: <.foo: 'message', 13, $xyz> PGE doesn't support this yet, and we probably won't worry about multiple arguments until Rakudo is a bit farther along and we can do a better job of argument parsing. There is also the question of handling arguments for languages other than Perl 6, which is why I'm postponing this entire issue for now. Pm
