Or alternately the main body of the loop can be written:

    (my @i).push($_) if /^WARN/;

Or even:

    push my @i: $_ if /^WARN/;

It's so nice how Raku essentially compiles the body of these file loops
into a little subroutine so that the "my" declaration only occurs once,
unlike how Perl 5 just textually wraps the loop with "while (<>) {" and "}"
which makes the declaration occur on every iteration.

I originally figured this out when I idly worked up a classic
word-frequency-count one-liner:

    raku -ne '++(my %freq){$_} for m:g/\w+/; END .say for
%freq.antipairs.sort.reverse' file ...
