Hi,

  class A { my $boo will leave { say "leaving boo" }; }

gives rise to​:

  Method 'add_phaser' not found for invocant of class 'A'

I appreciate that this may not be implemented yet but it would probably be nicer if it threw a NYI exception rather than just failing like that.

Or, at option, moving the code in Block into a trait which can be applied to classes as well :-)

I’m not sure what “will leave” on a class lexical would mean?

I agree the error is LTA, but perhaps it shouldn’t be allowed at all?

It was in theory implemented; in practice, an oversight meant it couldn't work. Fixed, and added test coverage in S04-declarations/will.t.
