Okay, so my bad example didn't provide an answer to my
original question. Let's try it this way:
class Foo {
multi method bar(Dog $x) { say "Foo::bar"; }
}
sub bar(Int $x) { say "sub bar"; }
my $foo = Foo.new;
$foo.bar(3);
In this case, since Foo has a bar method (but not one matching Int),
do we still fall back to the subroutine call? How about if the method
isn't a multimethod (or if the sub is a multisub)?
