Ok. If you'd really need such random dispatch, it could be done like
this, when I interpret A12 correctly:
sub run_random_bar($x) {
my @meths = WALKMETH($x, :method('bar'));
my $meth = @meths[rand(@meths.elems)];
$meth($x);
}
or even with
my sub bar($x) {...}

What about multi subs? They can be defined everywhere. Given:
multi sub *foo(A $a, B $b) {...}
Is this something like:
%globals{"foo"} --> MultiSub{"foo_A_B" => Sub, ...}
What about a not so global multi:
multi sub foo(A $a, B $b) {...}
Thanks for clarifying,
