This started with my mis-remembering "multi method" like:
class Myclass { multi-method Rat { 'Rat' } }
Then wondering why is Raku accepting the unknown 'multi-method'
followed by a known classname; and only tripping over the block or
parentheses.
It is just an odd puzzle for me that "UnknownBareId KnownClassId"
is accepted has the start of a valid statement. How would such
a statement be completed?
Thanks,
rir
