Actually it's a different problem. Because this works:

my $a = method { say self.WHAT }; class A { method x($m) { self.$m() }
}; A.new.x($a)

It's actually because lexicals declared in the outer scope of a class
are not visible within the class (which in turn is, IIRC, due to a :load
:init with :outer bug in Parrot). So changing the title of this ticket
to reflect that.

Thanks,
