Re: [perl #129278] [BUG] Can't assign to `int` private attribute using signature

[Elizabeth Mattijsen]

This is a known issue, as there is no native support for attribute binding this 
way.  There’s quite some code in the setting working around this issue  :-(

[perl #129275] [PERF] Infiniloop(?) Rapid Memory Consumption on attempting to use == with mixed-in Numeric

There's probably some good underlying reason for why this happens, but from 
programmers perspective, it's not at all clear what needs to be done to fix the 
issue, so if there's no way for us to fix it, there should be some sort of an 
Exception thrown:

 m: say class {}.new but Numeric == 72
 rakudo-moar 2c95f7: OUTPUT«Memory allocation failed; could not 
allocate 82944 bytes␤»
