Realized I didn't answer all of your questions.  The other new class
is the Routine class, which decouples Routines from Methods.
Previously, a ::ROUTINE directive created a Method object....now it
creates a Routine object.  You could also have generated the parser
errors using a Routine object in the same way.  One nice thing about
Routine instances is they are callable using either

    result = r~call(a,b,c)

or

   result = r~callwith(.array~of(a,b,c))
