<masak> rakudo: class Dog {}; say Dog.defined; Dog .= new; say Dog.defined
<p6eval> rakudo d396ab: OUTPUT«0␤1␤»
<masak> o_O
<masak> you can instantiate type objects!
<pmichaud> well, technically a type object is already instantiated,
it's just not defined.
<pmichaud> you told the type object to build itself, so it did :-P
<pmichaud> I think I definitely want to do our readonly refactor soon, though.
<masak> oh, that would solve that?
<pmichaud> yes.
<pmichaud> currently we mark which objects are readonly, and refuse to
write to those. I'd like to reverse that, so that we mark the objects
that are rw, and refuse to write to anything that isn't so marked
<masak> so I don't need to submit something for this?

<pmichaud> you can submit it if you like -- I don't know the timeline
for that refactor yet.
