P6: how to <strike>supercede</strike> supersede

update: corrected misspelling of supersede to avoid propagating the error.

I can't find the syntax to make ~~supercede~~ supersede work.

sub asub ( $ace, $deuce?, $trey? ) {
    say "$ace $deuce $trey";
}

use Test;

supersede sub asub( $ace, $deuce?, $trey? ) { # XXX
    die "asub";
}

my $derr;

try {
    asub( 1, 2, 3);
    CATCH { $derr = $!; }
}

ok( $derr eq "asub", "asub died" );

It helps if you spell it right :-) `$ ./perl6 -e 'supersede sub a { }' ===SORRY!=== "supersede" not yet implemented at line 1, near " sub a { }"` [download] ... for some value of "helps". What works today is hiding outer sub in an inner lexical scope: `sub asub ( $ace, $deuce?, $trey? ) { say "$ace $deuce $trey"; } use Test; plan 1; { sub asub( $ace, $deuce?, $trey? ) { 'asub' }; is asub(1), 'asub', 'lexically hiding works'; }` [download] Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

If you secede on spelling "supersede", you cede success and seed duress, successively and successfully.	[reply]
