Code:
say 42 .WHAT
Result:
===SORRY!===
Method call must either supply a name or have a child node that evaluates
to the name
Well, I think that it should work. One practical use is ｢^42 .WHAT｣.
Some explanation:
<psch> well, .WHAT anywhere in a space-y method call chain didn't work with
the original commit either
<psch> so it's at least not a regression
<AlexDaniel> okay, interesting
<psch> probably 'cause .WHAT doesn't go the normal
QAST::Op(:op<callmethod>,...) route
<moritz> right, it's macro-Y
<psch> which fits the error message, 'cause we apparently build such an Op
but
don't populate the children correctly, because .WHAT isn't a
method
that can be called with callmethod
Well, if it is not supposed to work, then at least the error message should
be awesome. Right now it doesn't even mention the line number.
