Actually, we might well omit the '&' on Code objects for better
interoperability with other languages, unless we name mangle it.
(Might need to name-mangle the key of Foo<::Bar> in any event,
so maybe Foo<&bar> isn't any different in that respect when other
languages want to look up the .bar method. Come to think of it,
Perl 6 usually wants to look it up without the & too. :-)
If for some reason we decided to allow a sub and a method of the same
name, I suppose we could make them Foo<&bar> and Foo<.bar>. But for now
we've got subs and/or methods in the same namespace.
