Rakudo r31066 works under the assumption that the absence of "is rw"
on attributes means that they cannot be modified, period. This reduces
their utility somewhat.
$ ./perl6 -e 'class A { has $.x is rw; method a { $.x = 5; } }; A.new.a' # works
$ ./perl6 -e 'class A { has $.x; method a { $.x = 5; } }; A.new.a' # fails
Cannot assign to readonly variable
[...]
$ ./perl6 -e 'class A { has $.x; method a { $!x = 5; } }; A.new.a' #
this works, though
My intiution about this may be off, but I read "is rw" as "not
_publicly_ writeable". I think even a non-rw attribute should be
changeable from within its own class.
(Substituting a "%.h" for the "$.x" causes another segmentation fault
in the failing case, by the way.)
