To make matters worse, what's the test sequnce?
If I have classes 'X' and 'Y', and a method Y::X,
my Y $y;
given $y {
when X { ... }
}
Does that evaluate true (because of $a.$b() rule) or not (because of
$a.isa($b)) rule, or does it try both?
If so, in what order?
And can we use
when .X { ... }
instead, to make clear that it's a method test and not an isa test?
