1514	NQP-rx doesn't check storage mode for contextuals	Austin_Hastings	pmichaud	"Reading from a contextual ($*foo) variable checks for a dynamic lexical, and if none is found tries reading from a global in the HLL-root namespace.

Storing, however, does not check, and so an attempt to store to $*foo will die if no dynamic lexical is found with the right name - storing to the global is never considered.
{{{
$*foo := 1;
say($*foo);
}}}
produces this code:
{{{
.annotate ""line"", 1
    new $P13, ""Integer""
    assign $P13, 1
    store_dynamic_lex ""$*foo"", $P13
.annotate ""line"", 3
    find_dynamic_lex $P14, ""$*foo""
    unless_null $P14, vivify_11
    get_hll_global $P14, ""$foo""
    unless_null $P14, vivify_12
    die ""Contextual $*foo not found""
}}}
