in reply to Re^4: How will you use state declared variables in Perl6?
in thread How will you use state declared variables in Perl6?

Nah, it's only surprising if foo doesn't know it's a method. Methods should never be surprised by being inherited. And Perl 6 methods always know they're methods because they have their own keyword. If foo doesn't properly manage its own state, that foo's problem, not anyone else's.
