I had to revert one of the nqp commits related to .parse:
https://github.com/perl6/nqp/commit/d4d77b66c46c57de800b147df61fe486b4486acd

Here's a ticket for the module that was affected by the change:
https://github.com/p6-css/CSS-Module-p6/issues/10

Most certainly we want this change back ASAP, but it had to be reverted for the
release.
