OK. There are 5 new tickets for all other issues. In this particular ticket let's talk about (), [], "", etc. Basically, anything that currently says “corresponding starter” (word “starter” instead of the actual starter). It should really print the actual starter, but for now it's a good way to figure out which error message you're seeing.
Try to cover as many things as you can in tests and we'll close this ticket. See https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/commit/6542bb8032e7203b8736655075dbd3452856bc93 for some info.
