Thanks -- I thought of trying that to see what happens. (Not that I absolutely need it, but would be good practice.) A list of what works in Rakudo and what doesn't would be nice, but there's so much progress I don't know how it could be practical (which is a good problem to have!).

Well, I really appreciate setting out specific tasks this way. It's a great idea, because although contributing to a project like this doesn't have to be hard, it can nevertheless require a lot of context even to work on something simple. It's probably almost as much effort for you to spell it all out than to just do it yourself, but it's the kind of hand-holding that somebody like me needs to get started. -David
