MyException.new("OH ERROR")

* masak submits rakudobug
<jnthn> heh
<jnthn> what on earth is it meant to do there
<jnthn> stringify it I guess
<jnthn> class MyException is Exception {}; die MyException.new("ERROR")
<jnthn> rakudo: class MyException is Exception {}; die MyException.new("ERROR")
<p6eval> rakudo c6a829: OUTPUT«E␤  in main program body at line
11:/tmp/fX0pY0wDN3␤»
<masak> :P
<jnthn> masak: wtf, it outputs...the first character?!
<masak> jnthn: somewhat LTA, no? :)
<jnthn> I...can totally wait to debug that. :-S
<pmichaud> I wonder if something is indexing into a string when it
thinks it has an array.
<jnthn> pmichaud: oh
<jnthn> pmichaud: That's a good guess.
* masak guessed right :)
<jnthn> pmichaud: That'd make it less weird.
<jnthn> Apart from, what is doing that. :-)
