Normally, the `**` quantifier doesn't care whether the count is
specified as a literal or as an expression enclosed in `{ }`:
say "abc".match(/\w ** 2/) # ｢ab｣
say "abc".match(/\w ** {2}/) # ｢ab｣
say "abc".match(/\w ** 2/, :ov) # (｢ab｣ ｢bc｣)
say "abc".match(/\w ** {2}/, :ov) # (｢ab｣ ｢bc｣)
But when the `:exhaustive` flag is active, it misbehaves when the
count is specified as a `{ }` expression:
say "abc".match(/\w ** 2/, :ex) # (｢ab｣ ｢bc｣)
say "abc".match(/\w ** {2}/, :ex) # (｢ab｣ ｢a｣ ｢bc｣ ｢b｣)
