STD does a better job there. (It feels like it should be possible to
figure out that B is a label and not a type here; I know there's a
heuristic in place that says upperbase => probably a type, but we do
have the label in the program in this case.) Even with "type" in the
error message, STD's error message is way better than Rakudo's, since
it says "Illegally post-declared", which is the real problem.
