It's a948cae51 o'clock, I'm sitting in a nice café with gratis
wireless, and I'm getting this strange effect​: a call dispatches to a
multi variant with a slurpy hash if that's the only variant around,
but it won't find it if other variants are defined.

$ perl6 -e 'multi foo(*%_) { say "unknown" }; foo(​:key); foo(​:unknown)'
unknown
unknown

$ perl6 -e 'multi foo(​:$key!) { say "with key" }; multi foo(*%_) { say
"unknown" }; foo(​:key); foo(​:unknown)'
with key
No applicable candidates found to dispatch to for 'foo'
in Main (<unknown>​:1)

With or with the '!' after '​:$key', this problem occurs.
