STD.pm currently (r25059) allows _any_ statement to occur prior to a
"class Foo is Bar;" declaration, which seems to contradict S11:
A module is declared with the C<module> keyword. There are
two basic declaration syntaxes:
module Foo; # rest of scope is in module Foo
...
module Bar {...} # block is in module Bar
The first form is allowed only as the first statement in the file.
Rakudo is currently following the S11 definition. Perhaps we need
a bit of clarification on the synopsis or STD.pm here.
