Call to non-existing method Slip.from-loop in src/core.c/array_slice.pm6

[usev6]

The Problem

This line from src/core.c/array_slice.pm6 has a call to Slip.from-loop(): https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/f987cdb0ba/src/core.c/array_slice.pm6#L250

But we only have Seq.from-loop().

Unfortunately, I have no idea for code that would trigger this elsif branch (to create a test and changing the line to use the exising from-loop method).

20:47 | lizmat | which implies that path is never taken
[...]
20:49 | lizmat | seeing that that code has been in there since Sep 2015, I'm pretty sure we can just take it out
20:49 | lizmat | as there has been no test breakage and no ecosystem breakage because of it

Unfortunately, I have no idea for code that would trigger this elsif branch (to create a test and changing the line to use the exising ```from-loop``` method).

Seems pretty straight forward to me: raku -e 'my @A; my @i = 1, 2; my @c = 1, 2; @A[@i] = @c.iterator' No such method 'from-loop' for invocant of type 'Slip'

I think this is a leftover from before the GLR. An Iterator is not an Iterable. For the same reason, this doesn't iterate:

my @a = ^5;
.say for @a.iterator; # Rakudo::Iterator::ReifiedArrayIterator.new

So I think deleting that piece of code was the right thing to do.

For the sake of completeness: the code I've mentioned in the original report has been removed with 3aaca26. Therefor I'm closing this issue.
