What should the syntax for creating new objects be? That is, if I define an
object with its methods in the namespace [ 'PAST'; 'Node' ], how do I create
a new instance of that class?
.local pmc node
node = new ???
Thinking a bit more about it (and discussing this issue with pmichaud)
on #parrot - it seems that we really want hierarchical class names too,
the more that a Perl6 class isa NameSpace too.
That means:
* newclass, subclass, getclass, and new opcodes need variants that take
a Key PMC, e.g.
cl1 = newclass ['PAST'; 'Node']
cl2 = newclass ['POST'; 'Node']
and
obj = new ['PAST'; 'Node']
* the class_hash will be a NameSpace hash instead of a plain 'flat' hash
What do folks think?
