Hi All,
Why does `$y =%x<<$z>>` work in the following and
`$y =%x<$z>` and `$y =%x<"$z"> do not work?
$ p6 'my Str %x=("Jan"=>"01", "Feb"=>"02");
my Str $z="Jan";
my $y =%x<<$z>>;
say "$y";'

Why did I get it right?
Many thanks,

But what you really want here is %x{$z}, so you don't bother with string
interpolation at all, and pass the String variable directly.
perfect! Thank you!
