I might say rather that $a is a parameter for the invocant. The @b
parameter holds all the positional arguments, %c holds the named arguments.

Since $me is in front of the ':' in the signature, it is saying you want a
parameter to refer explicitly to the invocant.
In "Foo.whoami", "Foo" is the invocant, the thing on which the method is
executed. The signature asks for it to
be passed in as "$me".
