From @pmichaud

Currently all of the builtins for perl6 are written in PIR.
However, it would make more sense if some builtins were written
in Perl 6.

We have all of the pieces we need to make this happen -- we just
need (1) a logical means of keep track of builtins written in Perl 6
versus builtins written in PIR, and (2) to decide if the Perl 6
written builtins are part of a library loaded at runtime (stored where?)
or part of the perl6.pbc binary.

I would appreciate if someone would look over this patch before
committing it. I'm open to comments.

If anyone wants to work on this ticket, writing a Perl 6 version of the
patch given in RT#​49085 might be a good test case or starting point.

From @cspencer

The attached file contains method definitions for splice and pick as
implemented in Perl 6. They have been tested as stand-alone
subroutines, but not as actual Array methods. The "is also" trait does
not yet parse parameter lists correctly, so methods can't be
successfully added to the class.

A couple of caveats​:

- The parameter lists in the methods have been fudged so as to get by
errors currently being thrown. They're not exactly as in S29. (ie.
typed optional parameters have to have a default value assigned or a
type mismatch error is thrown)

- I wasn't able to fully test them as methods, as the parser doesn't
parse it correctly it yet. They should be more or less okay, perhaps
with a couple syntactical fixes.

- It's not a patch against any given file, as I wasn't quite sure what
to patch against. :)

And boy did it take us a little while to get there, but today we have. :-)

See under src/setting/ for various .pm files that make the start of our
Perl 6 setting (similar to what other languages call a prelude).

Also, this ticket had a patch supplying a Perl 6 implementation of
splice for Array, from cspencer. After a couple of tweaks, I have added
this to the prelude too. Thanks!

So, resolving this ticket.

Thanks,

Jonathan
