See this: d8d26e2

Given that some tests are now optional, we can freely do stuff like this.

Please keep in mind that some rancid What Ever Online (TM) used by Online "Journalists" may turn Perl 6 into Perl 6 in articles or even a heading. You may actually make the situation worse be being conservative while receiving and liberal while sending.

This is now available in 'make xtest', as a failing test.

Perl 6's take on unicode has always been to push the envelope and encourage others to improve their handling as well.

Anybody willing to work on making it pass?

@AlexDaniel, I already did it locally(just sed), but this test reacts not only to Perl 6, but to Perl 5. And, generally, Perl $any-digit. Do we want Perl 5 to be non-breakable too?
Ah, judging by test message, yes.
