hmm, could we write...
sub foo (Class $self is topic: +$foo, +$bar) {
.method;
}
to avoid having to use ./

For such a short method, perhaps just using $_ directly makes more
sense:
sub foo (Class $_: +$foo, +$bar) {
.method;
}

Instead of letting AUTOLOAD receive and pass on arguments, and instead
of letting AUTOLOAD call the loaded sub, why not have AUTOLOAD do its
thing, and then have *perl* call the sub?
sub AUTOLOAD ($whatever) { # but no
