can a method name contain a funny character?

[Theo van den Heuvel]

Hi perl6 fans,

I can use funny characters in operators or in sub names (using 
term:<...>). However, when I try the same thing with an operator as in:

<code>
class Foo {
  method term:<❤> { "mem heart".say }
}

my Foo $foo .= new;
$foo.❤;
</code>

I get:
Malformed postfix call

That is unexpected for me, but is this as it should be?

This is Rakudo version 2016.01.1 built on MoarVM version 2016.01


Thanks,
