You have to write it like this:
class Foo {
method ::('❤') { "mem heart".say }
}
my Foo $foo .= new;
$foo.'❤'();
Other than that, only names beginning alphabetically are allowed.
You could work around this on the caller end with a postfix:<❤>, but
that would be an operator, not a method call, so you'd have to write
your postfix:<❤> operator to call the actual method in turn, with
sub postfix:<❤> ($f) { $f.'❤'() }
or so...
