Re:Reserved words (Score:1)
Well, there's no such thing as a "reserved method" really. These are just methods defined on the (built-in) Routine class. Sub and Method and Submethod just derive from this class and thus you get .wrap and .unwrap available on them.
callsame, callwith, nextsame and nextwith are all built-in subs. They aren't recognized by the compiler specially, they just dispatch like any old subroutine. (Under the hood, they are implemented in terms of a candidate list plus scope and lexpad introspection. This same candidate list mechanism is what gives you deference or calling in a method to the next parent. That's one of the things I'm currently hacking on for my Hague Grant.)
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
