This is a _little_ bit trickier than it might seem at first, since Perl 6 assumes that unrecognized identifiers (barewords) can be post-declared listops. So, BEGIN may be a little too soon -- we may want to do it at CHECK time or something like that. Currently most refactors having to do with BEGIN/INIT/END/etc. are awaiting Parrot's merge of the concurrency/exceptions (pdd25cx) branch back into trunk. Pm
