They are allowed outside of class definitions, but only if they are
anonymous. So I have now added some code to the compiler (in r30990) to
check and whine if you write a named method outside of a class, role or
grammar.

Thanks,

Reopening this ticket because the bug it claims to have fixed has reappeared.

We should probably add a regression bug for this in the spectests.
