Code: say (2..1)[^10] Result (2015.12,2016.02): (Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil Nil) Result (2016.03,HEAD): Index out of range. Is: 0, should be in 0..-1 in block <unit> at /tmp/1dJcD1E1Wz line 1 Actually thrown at: in block <unit> at /tmp/1dJcD1E1Wz line 1 Bisectable points to https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/7cbf2d302c561d74f38e7bb800d466ec4accfd21 It seems that most things produce Nils in similar cases, so the previous behavior was correct. For example, (2,3,4)[^5] will give (2 3 4 Nil Nil), I don't see any reason for ranges to behave differently (especially to error out with an error message like this…)
