Still reproducible (2017.11, HEAD(5929887)).
However, I'm wondering if it should be fixed at all. If I get it right, the
tickets wants the thing to be roundtrippable, but what about cases like:
Code:
my $a = Mu but role { method blah { 42 } };
say $a.blah; say $a.perl
Result:
42
Mu+{<anon|94497069725968>}
Do we really want it to dump the source? Or am I misunderstanding something?
