Looking deeper into it, the comment doesn't lie, it does seem to work to
decouple from cached constants:
# HEAD
<Zoffix> m: my $y = Int.new: 2; my $x = 2; 2 does role Foo {}; dd $y
<camelia> rakudo-moar 19df35: OUTPUT«Int $y = 2»
# 2012.15
<Zoffix> committable6, 2015.12 my $y = Int.new: 2; my $x = 2; 2 does role Foo
{}; dd $y
<committable6> Zoffix, ¦«2015.12»: Int+{Foo} $y = 2
Can't figure out how to get the cake and eat it too, though... I can either
make it create a new self.WHAT maintaining subclassing object OR handle huge
values like 2⁶⁴ correctly. Other than doing something stupid, like coercing it
to Str and then using nqp::fromstr_I :/
