<jnthn> wtf is it parsing that as...
<masak> you tell me.
<jnthn> std​: say '16'{'%x'}
<p6eval> std 30331​: OUTPUT«ok 00​:01 108m␤»
<masak> well, yes, but... :)
<jnthn> I mean, I guess it's just a hash index into a string, but it

<masak> no.
<masak> it shouldn't.

[15​:05] <bbkr> looks like fixed, where tests for such case should go str

Slightly different failure these days​:
