This ticket is about skipped tests in S03-metaops/hyper.t and S12-methods/parallel-dispatch.t which combine the unary hyper operator '>>' with constant string subscripts for a Hash or Pair.
The following evaluation shows the problem: $ perl6 -e 'say (a => 2, a => 3)>>.<a>' Cannot find method 'postcircumfix:<( )>' in block <unit> at -e:1 in any <unit-outer> at -e:1 If I understand commit 45d205f2 for roast correctly, this started back in 2013 when [] and {} were no longer overloaded with methods.
