I was impressed I could copypasted that in the text/terminal sesion of raku's
REPL and have it work. As a matter of fact:
> sub foo($) { ++⚛$c }('a' | 'b,b' | 'c');
any(1, 2, 3)
> say $c;
3
but, trying it without the cabbage, er, atomic symbol
> my atomicint $d = 0;
0
> sub foo($) { ++$d }('a'|'b,b'|'c');
Cannot find method 'qast' on object of type NQPMu
> my int $f = 0;
0
> sub foo($) { ++$f }('a' | 'b,b' | 'c');
Cannot find method 'qast' on object of type NQPMu
but my raku's a tad long in tooth
$ raku -v
This is Rakudo version 2020.05.1 built on MoarVM version 2020.05

CAUTION - EXTERNAL:
WATs are everywhere, and (I'm not trying to pick on one language
here), I find this SO question to be intruiging:
https://stackoverflow.com/q/58340585/7270649
Joseph (and Ralph): thanks for starting off this conversation!
Fernando and Vadim: amazed at your code!
Andy: good questions always welcome!
Daniel: Thank you for your confirmation on EVAL. Also, I tried parsing
the ATOM SYMBOL character to look at classification, and this is the
best I could do (in the Raku REPL):
> say "⚛".uniprop
So
> dd "⚛".comb>>.uniprop
("So",)
Nil
> say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}"
⚛
> say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}".uniprop
So
> say "{uniparse 'ATOM SYMBOL'}".uniprop('Alphabetic')
False
HTH, Bill.
PS. Cannot sent this email in 'plain text' mode as ATOM SYMBOL disappears.

No, it's not an abbreviation for anything – it's the word "what", but
pronounced in a way that
indicates the speaker is surprised/confused. More specifically, it's a
reference to the WAT talk (a
really good one, even if it is about a different language)

(All of that is pretty much strait from the glossary, by the way)
