<sisar> r: $_**2;
<p6eval> rakudo 45679a: OUTPUT«use of uninitialized variable $_ of
type Any in numeric context  in block <anon> at /tmp/uUxfmOEKJJ:1␤␤»
<sisar> that gives a different error locally
<sisar> it says "use of uninitialized variable $_ of type Any in
numeric contextMethod 'message' not found for invocant of class 'Any'
"
<moritz> the second half looks like an error during error reporting :/
<moritz> ah, you run it in the REPL
<sisar> yup
...
<moritz> but it's a bug that needs fixing
<moritz> r: say ($_ ** 2).WHAT
