Now added in r32373. Here's an example:
$ cat x
class Foo {
method speak() { say 'hello' }
}
say Foo.new();
$ ./parrot perl6.pbc x
Foo<0xb73ac540>
$
As an added bonus, per Synopsis 13 one can also define a
C<Str> method in a class to specify how it stringifies:
$ cat y
class Bar {
method Str() { return 'world' }
}
say "hello { Bar.new() }";
$ ./parrot perl6.pbc x
hello world
$
Closing ticket. Thanks!
