From S03:
$string x $count … The count may not be * because Perl 6 does not support infinite strings. (At least, not yet...)
However, the implementation is different:
m: say 'test' x *; rakudo-moar ee36da: OUTPUT«WhateverCode.new» m: say ('test' x *)(5) rakudo-moar ee36da: OUTPUT«testtesttesttesttest»
m: say 'test' x *; rakudo-moar ee36da: OUTPUT«WhateverCode.new»
m: say ('test' x *)(5) rakudo-moar ee36da: OUTPUT«testtesttesttesttest»
And it seems like this behavior makes more sense. In other words, xx Inf is infinitite list, x Inf is an error, x * and xx * – currying.
xx Inf
x Inf
x *
xx *
