The problem

In Rakudo the Seq returned by gather take is not declared lazy by design. If such a Seq is (almost) infinite it will misbehave if not wrapped in a lazy.

Suggestions

Add a CAVEAT EMPTOR to the documentation of gather take that an (almost) infinite gather SHOULD be prefixed by lazy.

Maybe we'll document it as a trap. Thanks a lot!
