<masak> rakudo: say (*.&say).WHAT
<p6eval> rakudo 015d77: OUTPUT«Whatever()<0x8319460>Bool()»
<masak> shouldn't that be a closure?
<jnthn> masak: hmm...mebbe... :)
<jnthn> I guess it gets re-written to a sub call in the PAST tree and
then fails to be seen as a "oh yes curry me" method call :)
* masak submits rakudobug
<masak> I had a nice rewrite of dugg++'s code kata that depended on
this working:
<masak> rakudo: sub center(*...@lines) { sub lfill($s, $n) { " " x $n ~
$s }; @lines.map: *.&lfill((my $maxlen - .chars) / 2) given $maxlen =
[max] @lines>>.chars }; say center "This", "is", "a test"
<p6eval> rakudo 015d77: OUTPUT«No candidates found to invoke for
method 'map' on object of type 'Array'; [...]
dugg's original code is here: https://gist.github.com/676143
The original code kata is here: http://perl.plover.com/qotw/r/001
It feels a bit inconsistent that *.say works fine (it creates a
closure { $_.say }), but *.&say doesn't.
