Re: Classes moving into namespaces; parrot reserved namespace

I've got a partial solution to the pending question of namespace vs. class. Specifically, I've realized that Parrot already had most of a simple solution to populating a class's methods even if the class has no public namespace, what with the ".const .Sub" technique. When I went to implement the r

Hi Chris, I hope you don't mind. With the idea of getting back into Perl6, I've taken the liberty of rewriting your code to clean it up a bit (somewhat successfully), and make it more "perl6ish" (somewhat unsuccessfully). The only significant issue I have with my version is the terribly neste
