Hello all,
while writing some experimental code with Pugs, I realised that it is a
bit hard for me to parse the following type of declaration:
sub greeting (Str $person) returns Str is export {
"Hello, $person"
}
Specifically, the 'is export' trait is too buried. Reformatting it

There are other ways to format the declaration, like indenting the
traits line:
Yes, I like:
sub greeting( Str $person )
returns Str
is export
{
"Hello, $person"
}
With the sub-line as some kind of intro and the block as the terminator.

If we ever get to where we're autoloading class bodies, they'd have the
same problem with embedded declarations. The compiler can't work with
information that isn't there.
This is something that is blurry t

That someone took the time to bring this up pleases me.

Well, I'm not sure about that syntax. It might have to be either
sub foo ( Int where { $_ == 0 } $bar ){ ... }
or
sub foo ( $bar of Int where { $_ == 0 } $bar ){
