Code​:
sub foo (--> Bool Int $x, Int $y) { True }

Result​:
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Type 'Bool' is not declared. Did you mean 'Cool'?
at -e​:1
------> sub foo (--> Bool⏏ Int $x, Int $y) { True }

I know that I'm doing it wrong, but ｢Bool｣ IS declared! Come on!

Actually, this is not the first time I see this, and in fact it is not the
first time I report such LTA error. See

This was resolved in these commits​:
* rakudo/rakudo@ac97a40
* rakudo/rakudo@64b001a

｢testneeded｣

Please try to cover various variants in tests, like​:
(--> Bool Int $x, Int $y)
(--> Bool, Int $x, Int $y)
($x, --> Bool, Int $y)
and so on.
Maybe also test ; and ;; instead of commas, because these are also allowed as param separators.
