Some comments on the linguist contribution.
While 'invocant' and 'invoker' may be 'functionally equivalent', it
seems to me that in fact 'invocant' is correct.
'Invocant' indicates a thing that invokes, and does not imply
necessarily an intent. By analogy, we have 'defendant' in normal usage,

Another option is to use 'val' -- which parses

Hello all,
A Raku Steering Council will be elected to serve the needs of the
greater Raku Community. At present we are in the nomination period,
which will end on Sept. 6th at midnight UTC:

I tried combining Larry's code and Yary's code, variously using
"state" or "INIT" or "BEGIN". This is what I saw:
~$ raku -e 'for -> $alpha { for (1..14) { print (state $ =
$alpha)++ ~ " " } }'
AA AB AC AD AE AF AG AH AI AJ AK AL AM AN NN NO NP NQ NR NS NT NU NV
NW NX NY NZ OA
~$ raku -e 'for -
Yes, because INIT and BEGIN happen before runtime, and $alpha is set at
runtime! Hence my original BEGIN example using a constant to set the first
value.
Another reason to prefer "state" over those phasers... unless you want a
counter over the lifetime of the process, which is valid.

I'm barely hanging on with the "$" so ... so from:
raku -e 'for -> $alpha { for (1..14) { print (state $ = $alpha)++ ~ "

I tried an actual, er, non-anon var

AA AB AC AD AE AF ...

My first clue that something is amiss is in your third line of code when
the return skips "AA" and starts "AB, AC, AD". That suggests to me
that the two step assign/printf call is playing havoc with the $ anonymous
variable. Try this instead:
~$ raku -e 'for -> $alpha { for (1..14) { printf

Missed that about the missing AA - does the same thing with
Every time $ shows up, it is a different scalar.
$=1; say $;
is similar to
my $anonONE=1; say $anonTWO;
thus they are very limited use

Unfortunately, neither rendered constraints nor image insertions are
implemented yet. Or it is so up to my knowledge, at least. I miss these
features too sometimes.
