Re^8: Perl 6 is going to get a lot faster in 2013

Pseudo-packages provides what you are looking for. For example:

{
    my $x = 42;
    say MY::.keys;
    say MY::{ '$x' };
}
[download]

Produces

$x $_ call_sig $*DISPATCHER
42
[download]

call_sig and $*DISPATCHER are used internally, and better not touched :-)

I've tested in on rakudo/HEAD, but should work fine in 2012.12 too, nothing significant changed in that code path since December.
