Problem is that's not a syntax error as such. Running with stage stats you
can see where -c stop and where the error is thrown.
(I'm sure someone with deeper VM understanding can explain is better).
perl6 --stagestats -e 'sub foo($a, $b) { say "Hmm" };foo(1,2,"3")'
Stage start : 0.000
Stage parse : 0.116
Stage syntaxcheck: 0.000
Stage ast : 0.000
Stage optimize : ===SORRY!=== Error while compiling -e
Calling foo(Int, Int, Str) will never work with declared signature ($a, $b)
at -e:1
------> sub foo($a, $b) { say "Hmm" };⏏foo(1,2,"3")
perl6 --stagestats -ce 'sub foo($a, $b) { say "Hmm" };foo(1,2,"3")'
Stage start : 0.000
Stage parse : 0.110
Stage syntaxcheck: Syntax OK
