./perl6 -e 'class A { submethod BUILD(*...@a) { say @a.perl } }; A.new(x => 3)'
Could not locate a method 'perl' to invoke on class 'A'.
Now that's bad. BUILD shouldn't receive the initially created object,
but the
same arguments that .new received.
Note that S12 has one example that's a bit confusing, but later it says
Any named arguments to C<bless> are automatically passed to the
C<CREATE> and C<BUILD> routines.
This is tested in t/spec/S12-construction/named-params-in-BUILD.t (not
yet in t/spectest.data)
On a somewhat related note, defining the method as
submethod BUILD { ... }
(without explicit signature) results in the error
"too many arguments passed (3) - 1 params expected"
which implies that it didn't get the right default
signature (*...@_ is rw, *%_ is rw)
