It's funny that this bug resurfaces just as I try something like this in Rakudo:
class SomeClass {
my $.warn_limit = 1000;
my $.stern_warn_limit = $.warn_limit * 1.05;
my $.expel_limit = $.warn_limit * 1.10;
# ...
}
And have it fail. Were my assumptions unreasonable in the above case?
I don't think so, but OTOH I don't find something in S12 that talks
about this, so I think I'm on unspecced territory.
I'll re-pose this question to p6l.
