From @cognominal

Trying to experiment with the compiler chain from the language (either
nqp or perl6) is impossible for the layman.
All my attempts have been failures and documenting them would be
futile at this point.
Too bad, because I think playing with it would be a good way to get a
feel of the internals which is a prerequisite
to become a contributor.

A simple example.

Perl6​::Compiler is a Rakudo-only class; it isn't in the spec, and it's a
nqp file, so at the very least it would have to be loaded with
:lang<nqp>. Loading the .pbc files from blib/ won't do you much good
either, as the .pm files always are canonical.

Rejecting ticket.
