[perl #124442] no warning when a subroutine named "byte" is created

This is actually a more generic problem affecting user-created classes as well: $ perl6 -e 'class b { }; { my &b; say b.WHAT, b().WHAT }' (b)(b(Any)) ...it is just that the native types have no idea what to do when invoked and are noisier. The above results could be equally surprizing for someo

[perl #107204] [BUG] LTA error message when reading something in UTF-8 mode that isn't UTF-8

I added tests for this in S32-str/encode.t. However, I also added fudged tests because UTF-16 is not similarly awesomized to display line and column or terminator text.

FWIW there are two layers to this ticket: failure on operators, and faiures within where clauses. The error is due to a failure during evaluation the where clause and does not say '$x' for the same reason this does not: $ perl6 -e 'my Int $x; my $f = $x > 0;' Invocant requires an instance of typ

[perl #102652] [BUG] Rakudo recommends a different syntax for do...for loops and then that syntax doesn't work

Now STD does not parse "do...while" anymore, and there are tests to ensure rakudo does not parse "do...while" either, and tests to ensure the "repeat...while" and "repeat...until" forms work, as well. S04-statements/repeat.t S04-statements/do.t So this might be a closeable ticket now?
