[perl #124442] no warning when a subroutine named "byte" is created

This confused the heck out of me:

  ~/code/hub/rakudo$ ./perl6 -e 'sub byte ($i) { $i } ; say byte(1)'
  Cannot invoke this object (REPR: P6int, cs = 0)
    in block <unit> at -e:1

I can imagine being happy with (a) a warning when I defined the sub or (b) a
better runtime error of some sort.
