This is a hazard for introspective code.
This actually applies to any native on any PseudoStash: $ 6 'my int $a = 42; say MY::<$a>' Lexical with name '$a' has a different type in this frame in block <unit> at -e:1 Also: $init-time-num is an unintended leak of a variable to allow for lazy population of $*INITTIME. I’ve now removed that leak by not populating $*INITTIME lazily anymore. This adds 2 milliseconds to bare startup. FWIW, the bug seems to be in the underlying nqp::atkey: $ 6 'use nqp; my int $a = 42; my $m := nqp::getattr(MY::,Map,q/$!storage/); say nqp::atkey($m,q/$a/)' Lexical with name '$a' has a different type in this frame in block <unit> at -e:1 $ 6 'use nqp; my Int $a = 42; my $m := nqp::getattr(MY::,Map,q/$!storage/); say nqp::atkey($m,q/$a/)’ 42 Liz
