Rakudo is behaving precisely according to the spec here --
unknown identifiers ("Foo") are presumed to be listops
in absence of some other declaration. So, Foo.new above
is exactly the same as Foo().new() .
In order to get the above to work you'd need a "use Foo;" statement
somewhere first, to load the Foo class (and register it in the parser).
