This release implements 6.c and 6.d versions of the Raku specification. 6.c
version of the language is available if you use the use v6.c version pragma,
otherwise 6.d is the default.

Upcoming releases in 2023 will include new functionality that is not part of
6.c or 6.d specifications, available with a lexically scoped pragma. Our goal
is to ensure that anything that is tested as part of 6.c and 6.d specifications
will continue to work unchanged. There may be incremental spec releases this
year as well.
