[Recipients list trimmed back to just the list - it was getting ridiculous.
 So everyone will get only get one copy and it may take a tad longer to
 get there . . .]

You won't be able to query attributes at run-time?  Even within
the class?  I rather like the ability to loop through
the attributes of an object with something like this Perl5 code:

foreach my $attr (qw(foo bar baz))
{
    print "$attr: $this->{$attr}\n";
}

Will something like that not be possible in Perl6?
