< moritz> r: say ('1a' ... *)[^5]
<+p6eval> rakudo 45679a: OUTPUT«1a 1b 1c 1d 1e»
< moritz> r: say ('1a', '1b' ... *)[^5]
<+p6eval> rakudo 45679a: OUTPUT«Cannot convert string to number:
trailing characters after number in '1⏏b' (indicated by ⏏)
in method Numeric at src/gen/CORE.setting:9058
in sub infix:<-> at src/gen/CORE.setting:2381
in sub infix:<-> at src/gen/CORE.setting:2381
I'd argue that the sequence operator should never try to do arithmetic
with strings; it can fail, and it does.
