self.new(:$a, :$b) } }; say .a, .b for A.new(42, "OH HAI")

<masak> above, I tried to delegate to the Object::new method
<masak> another attempt:
<masak> rakudo: class A { has $.a; has $.b; method new($a, $b) {
self.Object::new(:$a, :$b) } }; say .a, .b for A.new(42, "OH HAI")
<p6eval> rakudo daf221: OUTPUT«elements() not implemented in class
'Sub'in method A::new [...]
<masak> o.O
* masak submits rakudobug
<masak> both of those should work, no?
<moritz_> masak: aye. There's a (known to me at least) problem with
the default new() method disappearing when an own such method is
defined
<masak> aye.
<masak> I knew that too. :)
<masak> but now I also know that it cannot be dug up either.
<moritz_> maybe moving Object.new to the setting migth help
