Well it's now more than half a year later and the current behavior is: PhatEddy rakudo: say $.a 17:22 p6eval rakudo 6f1649: OUTPUT«Lexical 'self' not foundcurrent instr.: '_block14' pc 51 (EVAL_17:34)»
It seems to me that if you try to access an attribute with no applicable class or object, then complaining that there is no "Lexical 'self'" might be reasonable. Wondering if it may be OK to resolve the ticket.
