While <|w> works in Rakudo, it isn't official Raku, and while I personally like it, there's a chance it will go away. Its semantics are the same as <?wb>, which is official Raku, so I've switched to that. (See also 5c1a147.)

I meant my prior related commit (which changed the regex doc page) to be a PR because I wasn't 100% sure about the X<...> stuff and regardless of that I felt it could still do with a quick check by someone else. But I clicked the wrong button. Otoh, once I'd done that I thought it would almost certainly work and be wanted, and if it didn't it wouldn't be a big deal and would be easy for me to spot it even if no one else does, and to fix it.

But for this change I'm making sure I do it as a PR. I still expect it to work, but it may not, and the consequence of that might be a waste of others' time, and even if it does it might not be wanted.

The problem

Solution provided

While `<|w>` works in Rakudo, it isn't official Raku, and while I personally like it, there's a chance it will go away. Its semantics are the same as `<?wb>`, which _is_ official Raku, so I've switched to that. (See also 5c1a147.)

Otoh, once I'd done that I thought it would almost certainly work and be wanted, and if it didn't it wouldn't be a big deal and would be easy for me to spot it even if no one else does, and to fix it.

But for _this_ change I'm making sure I do it as a PR. I still expect it to work, but it may not, and the consequence of that might be a waste of others' time, and even if it does it might not be wanted.
