The syntax for calling back to C<MyClass> is C<$obj!MyClass::meth()>.
+Note that private attribute accessors are always invoked directly,
+never via a dispatcher, since there is never any question about which
+object is being referred to. Hence, the private accessor notation
+may be agressively inlined for simple attributes, and no simpler
+notation is needed for accessing another object's private attributes.
The C<sub> keyword is optional immediately after a C<proto>, C<multi>,
or C<only> keyword.
