note

The note routine prints its arguments to the standard error stream. In the rest, it is similar to say.

1. Calls the gist method on its arguments.
2. Adds a newline character.
3. Converts the result to UTF-8.
4. Sends it to the STDERR stream.

my $x = 42;
note "Current value of \$x is $x";

Confirm that this program does not send the message to STDOUT:

$ raku t.raku > /dev/null
Current value of $x is 42

If no argument is passed to note, it prints Noted as the default message.
