[11:27:15] <+camelia> ..niecza v24-51-g009f999: OUTPUT«(Stash)␤»
[11:27:34] <lizmat> this means I can't use Stash as a parameter constraint :-(
[11:28:20] <lizmat> r: sub S (Stash $s) { say $s }; S(Stash.new) # rakudobug?
[11:28:21] <+camelia> rakudo 570d1d: OUTPUT«Nominal type check failed for parameter '$s'; expected Stash but got Hash instead␤ in sub S at /tmp/ep3aQw5kNa:1␤ in block at /tmp/ep3aQw5kNa:1␤␤»
[11:28:45] <moritz> yes, Stash.new should produces a Stash, not a Hash

I added tests to S02-types/declare.t and S02-types/stash.t with the following commit: https://github.com/perl6/roast/commit/658c9604e7

Since the latter file is not yet included in Rakudo's t/spectest.data I'll leave the ticket open until that is done.
