<masak> is that still the way to get at a method in Perl 6?

Now​:

class A {}; my $x = &A​::nosuch
Code()

<masak> is that still the way to get at a method in Perl 6?

Yes but only if you marked the method "our". Otherwise it's not
installed in da package.

Given to moritz++ for testing; note Code as what you get is good to test
for too​:

00​:00 <@​jnthn> TimToady​: say &nosuch​::sub.WHAT # what should this be?
00​:00 <@​jnthn> TimToady​: Failure object? Any()?
00​:28 <@​TimToady> jnthn​: Code() I'd think

Thanks,

Jonathan
