This might not seem totally related (but it is somewhat related)...
The perl6 compiler has a custom string type, currently called
"Perl6Str". What's the canonically correct mechanism for creating
an object of that type?
$P0 = new 'Perl6Str'
$P0 = new .Perl6Str
$P0 = new [ 'Perl6Str' ]
At different stages of Parrot development I've seen different
answers to this question, so it'd be helpful to know what's "correct".
(Also, if the answer is somehow different for Parrot's "built-in"
types, such as Undef or Integer, I'd like to know that.)
