I've always thought Foo and ::Foo were synonyms (except maybe in
signatures, but that's another thread). I.e.:
Foo =:= ::Foo =:= ::("Foo"); # true
And all of these are (except if you do metamodel hackery) Class objects,
i.e. the following all work and are semantically identical:
my $foo = Foo .new;
my $foo = ::Foo .new;
my $foo = ::("Foo").new;
Am I wrong?
