$ cat test.pl
sub MAIN(@​args where sub { False }) {
  say "​:)"
}

$ perl6 test.pl
Usage​:
  test.pl <args>

$ cat test.pl # note the slurpy
sub MAIN(*@​args where sub { False }) {
  say "​:)"
}

$ perl6 test.pl
Constraint type check failed for parameter '@​args'
  in sub MAIN at test.pl line 1
  in block <unit> at test.pl line 1

---

I expect USAGE in both cases, since it's both exactly invalid use of MAIN.
Patch and spectest incoming.

The test now passes. It was fixed today by one of these commits​: rakudo/rakudo@774e2de...41b685e

Not sure which exactly, I only I ran spectest ~10 hours ago and the TODO test wasn't passing.
