<TimToady> note that nom is not behaving according to spec wrt S02:3365 <TimToady> :8(42) is supposed to fail Use of the functional form on anything that is not a string will throw an exception explaining that the user has confused a number with the textual representation of a number. This is to catch errors such as a C<:8(777)> that should have been C<< :8<777> >>, or the attempt to use the function in reverse to produce a textual representation from a number. < masak> TimToady: hm, I wonder if we have an RT ticket for that... * masak looks <masak> seems we don't. <moritz> TimToady: :8(Numeric) in general? <TimToady> :8(none(Str)) :) < masak> nom: say :8(42) <p6eval> nom 327fc9: OUTPUT«34» * masak submits rakudobug <TimToady> note also that :8<42> is a special form, so is not subject to val() semantics <moritz> and subject to Str.Numeric semantics? <TimToady> though even if it were, <42> counts 42 as a Str in addition to an Int
