You'll not that $class was declared typeless, so it doesn't matter if it was
actually a class or an object of that class.
Actually, that last example was wrong--it should have been
method new($.name, $.age) {
return .bless;
}
or
method new($class: $.name, $.age) {
return $class.bless;
}
But in either case, if $class is untyped, it can work with either cloning
or class-based constructors.
