perl6 -e 'use Test do { Date.new(year => 2015); ()}'
===SORRY!===
Default constructor for 'Date' only takes named arguments
This example is fairly golfed, but you can run into this in the wild.
Consider a module that has an EXPORT sub and takes positional arguments. If
you tried to do
use MyModule Date.new( year => 2015) # you will get the error

I don't really get why the arguments to 'use' don't just use normal
invocation semantics, with the positionals taken out and passed to export
and the named used for normal importing.
unless $*IN_DECL eq 'use' || $*IN_DECL eq 'no' || $*IN_DECL eq 'import' ||
$*IN_RETURN {
$_[2].named($name);
}
This is the line in Actions.nqp that makes 'use' special.
