david7832 I'll probably start with humble subroutines, with syntax the sort:    .&esc:bash  (for escaping for "bare" bash calls),  .&esc:bash:dq  (escaping for use within double quotes), and the like, e.g.  a simple .&esc (escaping for the standard system shell) 23:11
Down the line, it might be interesting to get fancy and provide importable extensions of the Qlang. Not sure if one actually can make a sensible design for this, but it would be cool to have something like Q:x:s:esc<shell>⟨crc32 $^x⟩   where the :esc... makes it so that the $^x doesn't get interpolated literally, but in an escaped form. 23:13

Test-When/ugexe-patch-1: 766e622a69 | (Nick Logan)++ (committed using GitHub Web editor) | t/01-env-vars.rakutest
Match invalid keyword error by message, not exact stderr

Under the RakuAST frontend the compiler prefixes a use time error with "Error while compiling <file>" and appends the source location, which the legacy frontend omits, so the exact stderr comparison failed there. Check that the diagnostic message is present instead.
