[13:48] <bbkr> rakudo: "" ~~ /{}*/; say "alive"
[13:48] <p6eval> rakudo f8e959: OUTPUT«(timeout)»

[13:50] <bbkr> rakudo: "" ~~ /{"a"}*/; say "alive"
[13:50] <p6eval> rakudo f8e959: OUTPUT«(timeout)»


[13:49] <moritz> bbkr: since {} doesn't return anything that can be matched 
against, I'd argue it should complain "quantifiers follows nothing" or so
[13:49] <moritz> or "can't quantify non-matching construct" or something
[13:50] <moritz> IMHO it should be a parse error at compile time
