Wouldn't it be nice to be able to supply default values for instance
variables right in the attribute declaration?
class Jabberwock {
has $.jaws = bite;
has $.claws = catch;
}
my $scary = Jabberwock.new;
my $wimpy = Jabberwock.new(jaws = chew, claws = tenderly comb);
That is legal Perl 6. The fact that it is not legal pugs is pugs's problem. :-)

Noted. Perhaps it'd be worth foregrounding this feature in the Synopsis? I
was just about to add tests -- but I found they already existed, with
a comment
# These tests are not specified by p6l, But these should be right...

It is now vaguely hinted at the first mention of attributes in S12.
