Subs are lexical by default, so adding my to the function declarators does nothing.
Not sure what anon is doing there. My guess is that anon in sink context does nothing, and Rakudo just builds another proto for foo when it sees the first multi. Protos are optional (but not in the compiler itself!), so that first line is redundant but good practice.
