Looks like this syntax is now .method and ./method plus the private
counterpart .:method.
If I have .foo() as $_.foo(), then I can get unary method call on
invocant very easily, even if methods don't topicalize their invocant.
method bar ($_:) {
.foo();
}
Ahh, does this mean that the auto-aliasing is ditched?
I personally regard $_ as a bit too volatile and if it
is a rw binding it's outright dangerous to not have access
to $?SELF after some topicalizing statement! Or am I missing
something? I mean are all topicalizers properly temping $_?
How is that enforced in non-standard code?
BTW, is $_ more a global variable with lexical overriding or an
always passed implicit argument to blocks? E.g. all methods get
an implicit *%_ or was that for submethods only?
