At parrot r48099, with Rakudo version Kiev-272-gdd8d5d7, "state"
variables are not implemented.

Rakudo as of the January 2010 release("Minneapolis") implemented state
variables.

This code under Minneapolis works:

use v6;
sub count () {
    state $c = 0;
    ++$c;
}

say count;
say count;

and produces the output:

1
2

However, Rakudo version Kiev-272-gdd8d5d7 produces the following error message:

===SORRY!===
Symbol '$c' not predeclared in count (rakudo-alpha/foo.p6:4)

The same error message is produced with only "state $c = 5;" or "state $c".
