Method 'Bool' not found for invocant of class 'Integer'

OK: I get this message when running a .pir file from an embedded
parrot interpreter, but not when I actually call parrot from a command
line.  My guess is that there is perhaps a .pbc file missing from the
area where I have set up a runtime directory structure mimicking the
rakudo release, but I've tried copying everything over and I can't
seem to find what is present in the rakudo directory but not in the
one for my executable.  Is there some c method I can call to point a
parrot interpreter at a particular runtime directory -- like the same
one as rakudo/perl6 itself uses?

structs come as either values or objects

The treatement of a compact struct as a value or as an
object depends on whether there are mutators.

Defer wildcard delegation to dispatch failover

Wildcard delegation should not be used for methods that are in
the object's own ancestry (especially .new).  Use explicit delegation
or mixins to acquire such methods.

[perl #81548] [BUG] Can't do 'handles' on a type in Rakudo

FWIW 'has $!a handles TypeObject' is now implemented, and works fine for
roles.

It doesn't work for classes, because they have a .new method. So the
standard .new is overridden, trying to call the .new on an attribute,
but since there's no instance yet, the access to the attribute fails.

That's a conceptual problem and needs a spec resolution.

One possible approach would be to only install methods not yet present
in $?CLASS or its superclassess.... any better ideas?

[S02] outlawed :exists on a list slice

People seem to have different expectations on whether the
desugaring should be any( <at> slice) or all( <at> slice), so we
require making it explicit. This also makes the code more
readable and self-documenting.
