I'm aware there's a default constructor that allows named parameters

constructors that take defined parameters and initialize the object

my DateModule $d .= new('2007-03-12');
My first thought is also coercion: say my DateModule $d = '2007-03-12'
and let DateModule::&.(Str) worry about making the new object.
(Or does that need to be my DateModule $d = DateModule('2007-03-12')?
That seems unnecessarily redundant.)
