Because it eliminates a butt-load of translation to convert Perl5 
programs to Perl6 programs.  Rather than tracking down each and every
sub and figuring out if it's used as a method or not, nothing is
changed and things simply work.  But the C<self> or C<$ME>
functionality is still there for people to use.
