Hi, I'm seeing an issue where I try to write parallel code between `slurp` and `lines`, expecting that when I feed each one-liner a string with vertical whitespace (but not horizontal whitespace), the two methods will be differentiated--since lines autochomps by default. ~$ raku -e 'put "1\n2\n3";' | raku -e 'put slurp.contains(/ \h /) ?? True !! False;' False ~$ raku -e 'put "1\n2\n3";' | raku -e 'put lines.contains(/ \h /) ?? True !! False;' True However, my 'control case' (second example above) is showing that a string devoid of apparent whitespace is coming up positive, i.e. returning True. I would think this is a 'trap for the unwary', if it is indeed the specified behavior. Comments/feedback welcome and appreciated. FYI I'm on Rakudo™ v2022.07. Thx, Bill.
