I knew it returned an uncalled exception, but I'm still not expecting t

By principle of least surprise, all three of these should result in
the same output:

Perhaps you could create an error function that temporarily sets the
default error message (does perl 6 still have the $! variable?) and
returns false; so:
subset Filename of Str where { $_ ~~ :f or error ( "No such file: '$_'" ) }
Of course, that's a rather narrowly-defined function, as it's
Would it make sense to have the failure bound to the function parameter
rather than the subset? eg.:
sub foo (Str $name where { $_ ~~ :f } else { die "Houston, we don't have a
file" } ) { ... }
Just a thought...
