<jnthn> rakudo: class A { has $.foo; method new($foo) {
nextwith(:$foo) } }; say A.new("OH HAI").foo
<p6eval> rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«too many named arguments - 'foo' not
expected␤in method A::new
<masak> jnthn: should that have worked?
<jnthn> Hmm
<jnthn> rakudo: class A { has $.foo; method new($foo) { say "ok" } };
say A.new("OH HAI")
<p6eval> rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«ok␤1␤»
<jnthn> I think so. I'm not quite sure what it tried to call. :-/
* masak submits rakudobug
<jnthn> rakudo: class A { has $.foo; method new($foo) { callwith($foo)
} }; say A.new("OH HAI").foo
<p6eval> rakudo 0d4fe0: OUTPUT«Method 'foo' not found for invocant of
class 'Str'␤»
<jnthn> Oh! :-/
<masak> seems to be something to do with the invocant...
<jnthn> Well
<jnthn> Kinda.
<jnthn> Hmm. I'm not sure off-hand why that doesn't work.
<masak> but it should, so it goes on the RT pile.
<jnthn> One of the annoyances of implementing callwith and nextwith is
that in the case of them being used to defer to another method, they
need to find and pass on the invocant.
<jnthn> Whereas in the case of a wrap, they maybe don't.
<masak> ah. tricky.
<jnthn> Yeah.
<jnthn> It'd not surprise me if we have bugs there.
