Hi All,

A bug to report:

$ perl6 -v
This is Rakudo version 2019.07.1 built on MoarVM version 2019.07.1
implementing Perl 6.d.


$ p6 'my uint32 $c; $c = "ABC";'
This type cannot unbox to a native integer: P6opaque, Str
   in block <unit> at -e line 1

"uint32" is not an "integer".  It is a cardinal.  If
they really want to use the word "integer" for cardinal,
they should change the wording to "unsigned integer".

Picky, picky, picky

:-)
