If I do a get errors like​:

I find it a bit surprising that this doesn't work. I'm not sure if this is intentional or not.

The documentation at
https://doc.perl6.org/routine/can calls the parameter $method-name and
talks about method names, not Method object. Why does it surprise you
that you when you pass in something that's not a method name, you get
weird behavior?

Please also read the disclaimers at
https://doc.perl6.org/language/mop#Power%2C_Convenience_and_Pitfalls

I just expect perl (5 or 6) to DWIM. I'll mark this ticket rejected.
