<colomon> wait, my $class = 'A​::B'; my $x = $class.new() is the bug?

NOM​: what is the expected behavior of second case?

bbkr​:nom bbkr$ ./perl6 -e 'my $a = "string".new("");'
Default constructor only takes named arguments
  in method new at src/gen/CORE.setting​:494

bbkr​:nom bbkr$ ./perl6 -e 'class A​::B {}; my $class = "A​::B"; my $x =
$class.new(); say $x.WHAT;'
Str()
