I'm open to suggestions. A
Since we went to a lot of trouble to get lexical and closures to work correctly
in Perl 6, it seems fair to use it here:
$ cat rxstr
sub rxstr($s) { rx/<$s>/ }
my $str = 'foo';
my $foorx = rxstr($str); # create /foo/ regex
say 'foo' ~~ $foorx; # matches
$
The only way that comes to mind is to use EVAL, but that's not
golf-friendly at all.

I've been searching for how to parse a string into a regex, like qr/$str/
does in Perl 5, but so far without success.
At first I assumed, by analogy with .Str, .List, etc, that I could call
.Regex on a string, but this is not the case.
On IRC's #perl6 I learned about the <$str> construct, which d
