Not without breaking polymorphism, or doing creepy things like:

        our &method = $?CLASS.can("method").wrap {
                ...
                call
                ...
        };

instead of

        method method {
                $?SELF.SUPER::method; # what's the syntax for this, btw?
                # Can't find it under s12
        }

On the other hand, one thing i'd like to borrow is the ability to
use 'call' for "delegating" subroutines:

        sub foo will call(&other) {
                call; # just like saying other()
        }
