I am trying to find a way to send a message via STDERR to a user, and to
exit, but to eliminate the backtrace printing.
so .. either I use your suggestion of 'exit note $message' which I find
elegant, but so far difficult to test.
(I tried timo's suggestion of &*EXIT = -> | { die 'exited' }

Oh ya, and a string is not an array of characters. That
comes from my Modula2 days.
I’m not sure what you mean by: "How do I attach a default CATCH to all methods
in the class.”. What are you trying to achieve?

I think you would just have something like this in your test program's
mainline:
my &*EXIT = -> | { die "exit was called" }
and then you can use dies-ok. Bonus points for creating your own
exception class so that you can check that it was actually &*EXIT that
got you there, and not some rando
This sounds great.
So I am writing a class verifies conditions, and dies when conditions
are not met.
How do I attach a default CATCH to all methods in the class.
Or do I need to define my own Exception.

How does this answer the question about testing?
Ok so there is code, but where do I go to find what that code is? Where
in the Rakudo repo would I start looking, eg.?

this should help you get to where you want to be.
Someone™ can feel free to open up a ticket on the doc repository that
the routine page for exit doesn't have a link to or explanation of &*EXIT.

I'm writing a module and want to exit without a backtrace if conditions
are not met.
So I can write:
exit note '$path directory does not exist' unless $path.IO ~~ :d;
Fine. But how do I test this? I thought dies-ok, but dies-ok wants an
exception.
test.t:
sub testnote {exit note 'this
