András,

I think you have just discovered AUTOLOAD :-)

OTOH I don't know how the AUTOLOAD mechanism will work in Perl6 compared 
to Perl5, or if it has been imlemented in Pugs (yet), but as far as I 
remember, in Apocalypse 12 somewhere it says it will work the same(?) as 
in Perl5, and what you have described works in Perl5 (if I understood 
you correctly, which might not be the case).
