<ash_> rakudo: say :10(:16<10>) <p6eval> rakudo dc9900: OUTPUT«16» <ash_> rakudo: say :2(:16<10>) <p6eval> rakudo dc9900: OUTPUT«DON'T PANIC! Invalid character (6)! Please try again :) [...] <masak> could probably do better than that error message. <pmichaud> agreed. <TimToady> stringifying without evaluating? <pmichaud> with evaluating, in this case <TimToady> oh, yes <TimToady> with <pmichaud> since :16<10> is '16' <TimToady> 16 has a 6, duh My preferred error message would be something on the order of "The number contains a 6 but you're interpreting it as a base-2 number."
