(title)  class X::Syntax::NoSelf

    class X::Syntax::NoSelf does X::Syntax { }

Compile time error thrown when $.foo style calls are used where no invocant is available. For example the code

    $.meth

in the mainline throws the error

    ===SORRY!===
    Variable $.meth used where no 'self' is available

because $.meth is short for $(self.meth) , and there is no self available in mainline.

Methods
