<diakopter> rakudo: say (abs (412).WHAT) # this is what it's parsing as
<p6eval> rakudo 7347ec: Use of type object as value␤0␤
<jnthn> youch
<moritz_> that's because it parses as a prefix, not sub call
<masak> o.O
<diakopter> rakudo: say (abs((412).WHAT))
<p6eval> rakudo 7347ec: Use of type object as value␤0␤
<jnthn> ng: say (abs((412).WHAT))
<p6eval> ng 1b20b6: 0␤
