From @moritz

The error message "No applicable candidates found to dispatch to for
'$method_name'" could (and IMHO, should) include the following
information​: types of the arguments, and a list of candidates and their
signatures.

Bonus points if each candidate also shows why it can't be called (wrong
arity, no such named argument, nominal type check failed, constraint
failed).

We've discussed that on IRC​:
http://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2009-11-26#i_1775231

Cheers,
Moritz

and it does now, jnthn++.

Closing without tests, as we have no standard error message format right
now.
