If you have a file that declares class Foo { ... } and then you define a method 
OUTSIDE of those curlies and then proceed to call it from another method 
declared inside of those curclies, you receive a confusing message that talks 
about attribute access and no hints that you're calling a method that's outside 
the class's definition. Attached is a sample class that can be called with 
`perl6 -I. -MFoo -e 'Foo.new.bar'` to reproduce the error. Which on my machine 
looks like this:


zoffix@ZofMain:/tmp/tmp.DPywLvk6la$ cat > Foo.pm6
class Foo {
    has @!bars = <foo bar ber mer>;
    method bar { self.mers; }
}

method mers {
    say @!bars;
}
zoffix@ZofMain:/tmp/tmp.DPywLvk6la$ perl6 -I. -MFoo -e 'Foo.new.bar'
