Rakudo r32151 can't create classes with roles from the Rakudo-defined classes.

$ ./perl6 -e 'role B {}; class A does B {}' # this works

$ perl6 -e 'class A does Int {}' # this doesn't
Method 'methods' not found
[...]

Now, Int is a class in Rakudo, so I'm not 100% sure this should work.
Still, strange error message.

At the moment Int is not a Role, so I would not expect this to work. The
error message sucked, I agree - it's now as of r32335 'does keyword can
only be used with roles'. I'm not sure what to do with this ticket now -
the error message is improved. But should Int become a role? If so,
maybe we rename the ticket to do that?

Every Class implies the existence of a Role. Rakudo may not do that now, but
it should do that in the future *even if* Int remains a Class.

In 7bbc62a, the error message sucks again -- it's "Method '!select' not
found for invocant of class ''".

From @ShimmerFairy

The error message is currently​:
Method 'postcircumfix​:<[ ]>' not found for invocant of class ''

From @moritz

The spec doesn't mention that classes imply existence of roles, and the
current error message is about as good as it can get. So, closing ticket.

@moritz - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
