Note that I referenced the method as an attribute, and then called
it as a function.
Mmm, syntax! :) Luckily it makes no difference to us at the parrot

Parrot's got the interesting, and somewhat unfortunate, requirement

I doubt that. All languages have different semantics, and we can't
implement them all, because they are conflicting. You, as a compiler

Hi folks.
Sorry I've been gone so long. Non-p6i stuff's been well past
