Just an update: There is no longer a Null PMC access error, but Rakudo
complains about no matching signature:
$ perl6-m -e 'class A is Any { proto method new($) {*} }; A.new(now)'
Cannot call 'new'; none of these signatures match:
in block <unit> at -e:1
$ perl6-p -e 'class A is Any { proto method new($) {*} }; A.new(now)'
Cannot call 'new'; none of these signatures match:
in any at gen/parrot/BOOTSTRAP.nqp:1223
in method new at -e:1
in block <unit> at -e:1
$ perl6-j -e 'class A is Any { proto method new($) {*} }; A.new(now)'
Cannot call 'new'; none of these signatures match:
