Is C<File> a class? I can't find any mention of it in the synopses.

OH, you're right. Changing the name of this ticket to "Rakudo shouldn't
expose C<File> as a core class". :)

Not that I'm aware of. IO is mentioned (and somewhat implemented in
Rakudo) - I don't think we have a File class...

From @ronaldxs

File is a Parrot class (as in there is a parrot/src/pmc/file.pmc that
declares "pmclass File") and "rakudo​: File.new" behaves more or less
identically with (for example) "rakudo​: UnManagedStruct.new".

Thanks to Tene++ we've now switched over to using HLL 'Perl6', and the
Parrot File class (and others) is no longer exposed.

File.new
Could not find non-existent sub File

So, looking good; resolving ticket.

Thanks,

Jonathan
