multi MAIN ('time', *@components, :$variants?, :$tests?, :$tests-tagged?,
                                  :$runs?, :$enough-time?, :$min-scaling-points?,
                                  Bool :$verbose?) {

all arguments will exists in @components and then die with "Don't know how to process component '--verbose'"

This is because, unfortunately, perl6's default MAIN parsing requires all options (corresponding to named arguments in the signature) to appear before all positional arguments (which include the subcommand 'time' and the components). Anything after the first positional argument ('time' in this case) will be treated as positional, even if it's in the form of an option. Fixing this would require manual parsing, or (and this is what I'd much rather) a module that replaced the default Rakudo MAIN parsing with one that acted more like git's.

Closing this issue for now as fixing it really requires either a module as described above to be added to the ecosystem or convincing @Larry to change the default command argument parsing rules (and fixing Rakudo to match).

Thank you, I leart how to verbose it now : bench --verbose time nqp-moar/2014.10 rakudo-moar/2014.10.
